bandwidth

bandwidth project is an artificial benchmark for measuring memory bandwidth, useful for identifying a computers weak areas.

It tests several types of memory:

· Main memory read accesses
· Main memory write accesses
· Level 2 cache read accesses
· Level 2 cache write accesses
· Framebuffer read accesses
· Framebuffer write accesses
· String library routines

Whats New in This Release:

· 64-bit support has been added.

A tool for monitoring and warning you of sudden excess bandwidth usage. We built this after a couple of heart attacks, false alarms and big bills incurred by our customers at short notice.

Its main feature is to warn you immediately when a sudden bandwidth spike is detected, by email and SMS. It will also take a sample of the traffic with tcpdump for analysis if the spike stops before you can get to the machine to examine whats going on.

The program is designed to be simple, independent of the host system, and reliable at warning you as insurance against more complicated bandwidth monitoring systems failing-- in the case where a lapse in concentration can cost you thousands of pounds, you may want to consider having more than one bandwidth monitoring scheme in place :-)

Configuring & usage:

You should invoke the program something like this:

/usr/local/bin/bwalarm 2>&1 | logger -t bwalarm

which will send the programs diagnostic output to your system logs in case you dont see the email or SMS. You do look at your logs regularly dont you? :-)

The script is intended to be a stand-alone program which runs forever on a UNIX system. To change its settings you should edit the top of the file which is reasonable well-documented: essentially you point it at sendmail, tcpdump and set the parameters for issuing an alarm.

So thats the maximum number of packets/bytes per minutes/hour/day, and you can set up as many conditions as you want. Finally which email addresses or phone numbers to notify, and your account details at Clickatell, and youre away.

For SMS notification you should sign up with South-African SMS provider Clickatell who are cheap at around £0.03 per message.

While the program is running it logs alerts to stderr but can show you every reading it takes if you invoke it with the --verbose flag. If you use the --test flag, SMS and email sending will be disabled. You can also tell the program to dump its current list of byte,packet counter pairs to stderr by sending it SIGALRM.

Network Bandwidth is a free widget which will tell you what your currect upload and download speeds are, and also your total bandwidth for the last day (my college limits bandwidth per day).

Network Bandwidth widget allows you to view and monitor your PC network traffic

Bandwidth Widget is a small tool that monitors bandwidth usage for Canadian customers of Shaw and Access Communications internet service providers.

Bandwidth Graph is a free widget that shows your bandwidth usage using upload and download speeds, resettable totals, and a great graph.

Bandwidth Graph widget allows you to monitor your network traffic. You can see the download and the upload rate as well as the total download / upload in the current day.

Bandwidth Graph widget is pretty simple and its army device design makes it good looking.

MING Bandwidth Monitor is a powerful bandwidth meter, monitor and traffic controller, which measures, displays and controls all traffic to/from your computer or on your network. MING Bandwidth Monitor can display bandwidth data in a real-time graph, a numerical display, or both. It records all network traffic and includes extensive logging (hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly). And it can alert you of dangerous or unexpected network activity.
