Is it possible to show traffic (byte) accouning per local source ip

[bingo600]

I get no statistics on bwd.

How long time before stats are generated ?
Do i need promiscious ?

No you don't need promiscuous, but it will take a few minutes.. If your wanting to look now!! Your better off with darkstat or iftop..

[bingo600]

Dooh ....

I needed to remove the frame

I think it only updates like every 5 minutes or so though anyway.

You should see a timestamp in the top left on when it was last updated.

If you want pretty much realtime reporting then darkstat or iftop would be better tools. The other thing better with iftop is will show you the IP pair, ie where your client is sending or pulling data from.. Unlike bandwidthd that just reports on single IP.

Darkstat will give you the ports that were used, etc. But doesn't easy list the actual IP pairs that were doing the talking..

Just tried darkstat , nice program.
But it seems to log all ip addy's , incl Inet.

Do you guys limit it in #of hosts , or just enable it when needed ?

I only turn it on if looking for something.

Makes sense.

DS has already revealed one of my ISP's cache servers (Local TV streaming channel) , i can see ~equal ATV4 in/out bytes to that ip

Thanx for that tip

iftop seems nice too
Realtime top talkers src/dst

Thank you for guiding me here Steve/JP

I'll let bwd run , and keep the other two in the "toolbox"

Hmm .... Seems like bwd's byte count is reset ?

My ATV4 was on 500MB , now it's on 76MB

Would iftop or DS interfere with bwd , causing a bytecount reset ?

I wouldn't think so.. What timezone are you in - is it just past midnight there, maybe you cycled days on bwd.

[bingo600]

CET (well CEST right now) - Europe

GUI says : Wed Aug 26 20:17:53 CEST 2020
