Topic: Data throughput

[Steven]

Does anyone know if there is a way to determine the amount of triffic that has traveled throughmy internet connection? If I do an ifconfig it gives me this info, but obviously when the connection gets dropped, so does this info.
I have a 3 gig cap on my line, so this is why I need this info.

SME 5.6 with ADSL router connected to LAN interface.

Thanks
Steven

look for the sysmon contrib over at contribs.org

Check out iptraf, ipac, or nstats.

Thanks for the links guys, unfortunatly, as far as I can see, this also hav the limitation of when the machine restarts it starts over at 0k.
I guess what I need is some sort of logging, but this will help non the less.

Thanks

Why not try Input Output grapher.

There's a great how-to at:
