Bandwidth Monitor

I currently go to a college that monitors my bandwidth for uploading and downloading and I was looking for a real time monitor that keeps track of the amount of data I upload and download. While I know there are some dashboard utilities that do this, I currently leave dashboard turned off (I personally don't use it as well as I tend to leave my laptop on the battery so having dashboard turned off tends to help with battery longevity). Does anyone know of a utility that can monitor the amount of data (in MB) I've uploaded and downloaded since I started the program that isn't a dashboard widget? (I have found a few programs that monitor the current rate of my bandwidth use, but not the total amount of data I've uploaded and downloaded).

Activity Monitor (located in /Applications/Utilities/) has a Network panel that shows the network activity (including the total amount of data received and sent) since the computer was booted.

  • Inserting a Flash video and the Bandwidth Monitor

    I am new to Captivate, and I want to be sure I'm following
    some practical guidelines for inserting Flash video in my Captivate
    slides.
    I know there are quite a few variables relating to practical
    bandwidth usage--basically, we are creating elearning presenations
    that will have "talking head" videos embedded within. These
    presentations will be available for download via our LMS site, both
    within the US and overseas.
    I have utilized Captivate's Bandwidth Monitor to gauge the
    bandwidth hit each video slide is responsible for. However, I don't
    believe the numbers I'm getting back: because I've set each
    embedded video to "Pause slide till end of video", all the slides
    are reporting the same length in seconds, KB per sec and Video KB
    numbers.
    Can someone suggest a practical method for setting up the
    videos such that the Bandwidth Monitor can interpret them
    correctly? Can you also suggest a rule of thumb for maximum length
    for each slide with an embedded video (320 X 240) in it?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Is Bandwidth monitoring possible?

    Hi,
    I wanted to monitor my internet usage. Is it possible to build a bandwidth monitoring application using ActionScript 3.0 (with AIR + Flex).
    Aim:
    Get total downloads and uploads going via ethernet.
    (If possible display the list of ethernet cards and wifi cards and the user can select the one needed to be monitored).
    Also get the time of connection.
    +(optional)
    Automatically monitor if any transfers goes any ethernet or the ethernet after selecting the specific one thereafter.Any resources or any ideas regarding the above.
    Thanks.

    Dear Siva,
    we did nearly the same in LV 4.0 times where the G Webserver was not integrated into LV. The only difference is that we used a java applet instead of javascript. It was running fine with Netscape 3 and Internet Explorer 4 on Win NT 4 machines.

  • MIB Required for Bandwidth Monitoring on Cisco 3800 and 3900 series Routers

  • Server bandwidth-monitoring

    so..right now, I'm using ntop (http://twilightlair.net:5000) as my bandwidth-monitor for my server. The two problems I have are that:
    1. When looking at traffic summaries, it lists specific hosts with how much traffic they've sent/recv'd. instead of the destinations they're going to (i.e. which subdomains and whatnot.) It does say what subdomains they've gone to when you look at detailed info but that doesn't help much if there all a million hosts to sift through.
    2. Almost half my traffic is just listed as "Other TCP/UDP Ports." The only way I see to get port-info is the "last minute distribution" on the bottom of the main page, not a monthly summary or something of the like.
    any ideas?

    I'm not a big fan of ntop for the same reason.  I'm currently evaluating bandwidth monitoring tools to see which best fits my needs.  There's a great listing of bandwidth monitoring tools for linux, along with a short description on this page: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-mon … linux.html  I've learned of a handful of tools I didn't know about that I'll be experimenting with.
    My needs are slightly different than yours, however.  I need to take bandwidth measurements throughout the day at sample intervals and record the results into a log file or csv.  I'll combine this with a script I wrote to upload a large file during the bandwidth test.  I need to know the maximum upload rate in order to dynamically adjust my traffic shaping parameters.
    Let me know which tools you end up using.

  • Ea4500 and bandwidth monitoring

    Hi.
    I have a ea4500 router with 3 pc's, 4 iphones, 2 playstations, ipad, ps vita, house cat, and a printer all wired into the internet.  There are four of us in the family all using the internet but I suspect one of us is using considerably more than the other.  I live in the country and my current isp has us on the max available account - 50 gigs / month.  Lately we have been hitting 45 in less than 3 weeks into the month.  I would like to know which of the things connected or which person is using the most of the bandwidth up.  Is there a program that doesn't require a phd in quantum physics and networking that can monitor this for me and spit out a report on who or what is the hog here?

    Bandwidth monitor does not come handy with this device. However, you can dig a little deeper through Google to find third party software that could monitor bandwidth consumption for every device inside the network. I found one that monitors the bandwidth consumption of each application installed on my computer. This one only monitors one computer not the network. You might be able to find a network monitor if you dig a little dipper through the net.

  • Bandwidth monitoring on a Catalyst 2960

    Hello all, I'm working with two Catalyst 2960 switches and I would like to know if there is a way to monitor bandwidth on individual ports. Ideally I would like to have one graph showing a bandwidth usage reading on each port. I tried using the Network Assistant to accomplish this, but I was only able to view one port at a time. I also tried using a traffic graphing program from Paessler, but a MIB file is needed to allow the program to connect to the switch. When I ran a search on the network management page the 2960 was not on the list for MIB supported products. Is this type of graph possible to do? Or is there a more effective way to accomplish what I would like to do. Any ideas or suggestions would be helpful.

    Hi, we have just swapped all our avaya switches with catalyst 2960 (12, 24 and 48 ports) and 3750 (48 ports with 10gig module).
    How do I find what port I should monitor for bandwith graphs?

  • Network and Bandwidth Monitor Suggestion?

    I was wondering if anyone had a suggestion for a network monitor application that runs well on Leopard Server. I would hope it could provide statistics on different ethernet interfaces as well as filter down to ip addresses. I've used Network Monitor (but it doesn't seem to filter down to monitoring ip addresses) and ntop but I don't know if runs on Leopard. It would be used to check for bottlenecks as well as monitor bandwidth usage for individual ip's. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Solarwinds is one of the best tools our clients purchased for pinpointing issues on their LAN. All too often a tech points to the network as a problem, only to find through Solarwinds that the problem is related to CPU or memory or disk space, etc. Solarwinds is easy to use and the amount of time and trouble it saved payed for itself many times over in a very short amount of time.

  • PDSN bandwidth monitoring

    I am facing and issues with a PDSN 7204 Router
    Basicly we are very closed to our Bandwidth limit with our Internet Service provider
    We think we should be around 5 to 8Mbit/s but we are at a steady 35Mbit/s
    We have seen a significant increase in bandwidth from around mid february from 8Mbit/s to 35Mbit/s in close to 48hours...(without any significant changes form our end) I have tools to monitor the internal network and that is going around 500KB/s so nothing that could bring up those numbers.
    our PDSN is connected to our ISP to the RADUIS server and our internal network
    And all our client are basicly connected to the PDSN
    How can I monitor the traffic going in the PDSN to see what is taking all that bandwidth
    I am new at this and I need some help
    thanks

  • NetFlow and Bandwidth Monitoring on SGE2000

    Hi guys,
    Does anyone know if the SGE2000 supports NetFlow?
    I've checked the Cisco docs and also called Cisco support to which no one has been able to answer me, either yay or nay, just no one can give me an answer which is really bizarre.
    Anyhow, just in case it doesn't support NetFlow, has anyone been able to set up something that would be able to check the bandwidth usage on each port?
    I've got a problem where I think the SGE2000 switch is failing when I pump around 190~200Mbps through x2 of the ports (Server A on port 1=130Mbps and Server B on port 2=60Mbps) of Multicast traffic (UDP).  I can measure the output from the Streaming servers that provide the multicast content, thats how I know the input to the switch and I know that there are no packets lost or any errors departing from the servers, yet when I increase server B to say 80Mbps, I get break up and all sorts of problems on the client end STBs and it is happening on the multicast content provided by Server A too which is a different source, so I'm 99.9% sure its a SGE2000 switch problem which is why I'd like to monitor it somehow...
    Can anyone help?  Any suggestions? Would be appreciated.

    Pietro,
    The information I have found on the cisco.com site just shows net flow works with catalyst switches and certain routers. So I would say NO: SGE2000 doesn’t support Net flow
    http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps6601/prod_white_papers_list.html
    Once you get some captured data call back into the support center @ 1-866-606-1866 and open a case to start process of obtaining a resolution.
    Thanks,

  • Bandwidth monitoring on 3750

    im looking for a way to monitor the bandwidth and  graphically identify the real time traffic on several ports in our network.
    The tool would have to run on a windows workstation which woudl have multple NICS connected to cisco 3750G switches setup wtih SPAN sessions.
    the data received should be separted and displayed in real time graphically.
    Kind of like what Perfromance Monitor would do.

  • Bandwidth monitoring by Protocol

    I am trying to find a way to monitor bandwidth usage by protocol on each of my client machines.  This will give me info on any offending applications/services causing high bandwidth utilization.  It sounds like the 2960s I have do not support netflow, so that might be out of the question trying to get that info from the switch. I could possibly use port mirroring, but can't find any software that could help track usage by ip and protocol. If you have any ideas, please let me know.  
    Thanks for the help in advance.

    I have my 2960s paired to a Cisco isa570, not sure if that supports netflow, doubtful.  We will be moving away from the ISA570 at some point, it is feature rich, but lacks enterprise support and functionality.  Let me know if you think there is anything else I may be able to do.  Even if it involves snmp on the workstations that would be fine too.  Thanks for the response!

  • WAN bandwidth monitor?
