<div dir="ltr"><font face="Tahoma" color="#000000" size="2">Short answer is that MRTG can monitor the device, but nothing can log the traffic per-computer, because this device does not provide that level of detail in the information.</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">Longer answer is that, for the WIRED connections, the internal switch probably keeps per-port counts, so devices with dedicated ports on the device you can probably count traffic for (although it will include internal
traffic).</font></div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2"></font> </div>
<div dir="ltr"><font face="tahoma" size="2">MRTG can monitor anything it can talk to, so there is no reason you should not be able to monitor this device from a remote site, provided you enable SNMP on the external interface.</font></div>

to perform the required additional packet analysis.</font></div>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I am looking at getting an Asus WL-600g modem/router/wap. I would like to able to monitor how much traffic each computer connected to it (wired and wireless) uses. The WL-600g is linux based and appears to have SNMP, so I am
hoping MRTG is a viable option.</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">However, I could not find an answer anywhere to a couple of questions:</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Can MRTG log traffic per connected computer separately?
</font></div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">I use an offsite web hosting company, where I intend to install MRTG (as it is on 24/7). Will this work - can MRTG on the offsite server connect to the WL-600g, or does MRTG have to be running on a local box connected directly
to the WL-600g?</font></div>
