[mrtg] Re: Measuring Bandwidth Usage

[PAUL WILLIAMSON]

If the app in question runs over a specific port, you could use ntop with RRDTool to 
watch the specific protocol usage.

Otherwise, you'd need a linux box or something similar where you could monitor the 
firewall rules - I think.

I looked the 'mrtg totalizer' and I don't see how this will give me what I
want.  This is either because I don't understand howit works or I am not
clearly explaining what I need.

My cablemodem has certain amount of bandwidth available for upload/download -
different values for each.  I'd like to see how much of my bandwidth is being
used throughout the day and to monitor whether I am swaming its
capabilities.  

Similarly, my wireless network also has limited bandwidth.  I suspect that an
app running between one of the wireless nodes and my server might be dumping
a huge number of packets and effecting performance of all other wirless
nodes.  How can I monitor that?
