Dennis, where are you. Somebody mentioned bandwidth tracking/monitoring. A quote from an earlier message reads...... We've beaten out packeteer many times with our ~2400. solution which runs either freebsd or LINUX. Our soon to be released next verison includes per-rule burst settings, integrated policy routing and an embedded snmp client for gathering and charting data with a nice gui interface. Our boxes run as bridges, so you get the functionality of a switch as well with some multiport cards. We also have it running on a cobalt raq so if you like a completely web managable box (albeit running linux) we have that also...for a few extra bucks but still a lot cheaper than the packetshaper. You can also roll your own for $595. for just the software. www.etinc.com Dennis End quote. An associated company of ours uses the software product and is totally happy with it.

A great little graphic bandwidth reporting package. It's in the ports. There is also a neat little shell script, bandwidth tool that someone (I think DES) posted to the list a while ago. It involved netstat in combination with another graphic building app (can't recall the name). Nick Rogness <nick@rogness.net> - Keep on Routing in a Free World... "FreeBSD: The Power to Serve!"
