Re: [PLUG] Cool bandwidth tool...

Just stumbled across a tool called bandwidthd (http://bandwidthd.sourceforge.net). Compiles nicely, and is a really nice tool for monitoring bandwidth usage across multiple IP's on a single host. You don't really have to configure it as it "figures" out which IP's are pushing data on your machine.

I played with the utility. It isn't too useful for a single PC, but it would be nice for monitoring an entire network. It doesn't give much detail about the traffic, but it clearly shows the high bandwidth users.
