Bandwidth monitor is a software utility used for observing and monitoring the transmission and reception of data flow from your network.

It displays total and average bandwidth readings as well as how much bandwidth wasted from overhead. The tool comes equipped with a graphical display to illustrate network fluctuation.

Bandwidth Monitor can be used to determine if downloads or uploads are sporadic (lots of packet delays and drops) or if your network is optimal by showing a steady line of activity.

Bandwidth Monitor is also unique in that it allows you to create custom profiles. The profiles tell Bandwidth Monitor which packets are to be recorded. This allows services such as HTTP, FTP, and SMTP to be separated and collected for specific readings.

Here are some key features of "NM Bandwidth Monitor":

· 2D graph to display network performance
· Profiles to allow customized monitoring
· Multi-network monitoring

Linux Bandwidth Monitor (bwmon) is yet another utility that measures bandwidth utiliazation per interface basis. It is coded in C and takes advantage of POSIX thread and curses library. It runs only on Linux systems since the utility reads /proc/net/dev and /proc/uptime.

The utility reads /proc/net/dev and /proc/uptime files in order to print out bandwidth usage at user selected intervals, maximum bandwidth usage since initialization of the utility and average bandwidth usage since the last reboot. This is done based on network interface.

Tested on Linux 2.2.x, 2.4.x and 2.5.x, SuSE and RedHat distributions.
To compile, simply say
$ make
To install, say (optional)
# make install
Or copy bwmon binary where ever you want.

Show as little or as much information as you want to. Bandwidth Monitor allows the user to entirely customize the data which is made available to them on the interface.

Especially designed to take advantage of the asthetic features brought with Windows XP, Bandwidth Monitor 2 is fully customizable to suit your desktop. Add elements from selections of Graphs, Custom Images, Text Areas, Shapes. Customize these elements to display only the data you want them to display. Minimalistic to Extended, Bandwidth Monitor 2 can satisfy everyones needs and requirements.

bandwidth monitor is a small application which polls /proc/net/dev for the byte counts for a given network device , and calculates the RX and TX bandwidths. Originally a shell script, then a Perl script, now rewritten in C so that it can easily be used on embedded devices like the Linksys WRT54G as well as.

This program started as a shell script that I ran on my home-brew firewall wireless router (Linux, of course, on a 486/66) to keep track of my incoming and outgoing bandwidth. This let me know that I was getting the bandwidth that I paid for, and it also helped me keep an eye on the throttling of bulk traffic so that I didnt choke out my interactive sessions. Of course, that was before I had QOS.

The program is probably tied to Linux, since it grabs the byte counts for the requested interface right from /proc/net/dev. It could pretty easily be modified to grab the same information from the output of /sbin/ifconfig, but that would waste resources to spawn a new process to parse the /proc/net/dev file and regurgitate it to us. Also, I havent bothered to look at how uniform the output of the byte counts from /sbin/ifconfig is on other operating systems.

As a side note, the C version also uses nanosleep() and gettimeofday() to get more accurate polling intervals and track the overall time (since sleep(), usleep(), nanosleep(), et. al. only guaruntee to wait at least as long as you request, but do not guaruntee that it wont be possibly much longer...) So, if you were interested in porting it, youd have to make sure that nanosleep() and gettimeofday() were also available, or lose the resolution of the time used in bandwidth calculations.
