There are a few ways to do this, all have ways of showing the amount of data. * user ppp a 'show proto' will give you a breakdown of all kindsa protocols. * 'netstat 5' will show you the *total* amount of traffic on the machine (probably not what you want.) * /usr/ports/net/ntop will show you the current bandwidth on a particular interface (like tun0, for example.) * tcpstat will monitor a particular interface (or tcpdump file) and give you statistics on a particular interface (bandwidth, packets per second, avg. packet size, protocol breakdowns, etc.) pretty powerful/configurable. http://www.frenchfries.net/paul/tcpstat/ * MRTG will graph all this for you (if you aren't looking for numbers) http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html All do basically the same thing in very different ways, if you are looking to count bytes over an interface. -Paul.
