      Hi all,

      I´m planning to build a hardware firewall with pfsense. Behind the FW, I´ll connect several servers via a switch.
      Some of these servers are co-located servers from other companies. How can I count the data traffic from each of them?

      Does pfsense have a capability to count, or will I have to do that with the switch?
      If it´s done by the switch, can you recommend me a particular switch model that can count traffic, that is stable and reliable, and not that extremely high-priced?

      thank you

        Have a look at the bandwidthd package which was implemented lately: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2117.0.html

          @ hoba:
          Do you mean bandwidthd from sourceforge?

            It's the same software but it already is available as pfSense package if you go to system>packages in the webgui (unless you run the embedded version of pfSense).

              Does it work with multiple LAN interface (LAN OPT1 …) ?

                Not right now. There is a known bug with Bandwidthd using multiple interfaces.
