Bandwidth monitor (DU Meter alternative)?

BenST · 14 Jun 2006 at 22:07

Hi,

Can anyone recommend a bandwidth monitor, like DU Meter, but which offers the ability to monitor the current and total bandwidth of individual interfaces? I need a way of monitoring the total usage of my 3G and WiFi cards but I can't find any decent application that will let me do both.

Thanks!

If you can expose their throughput with SNMP, PRTG/MRTG/RRDGraph et al.

You could take a look at BandWidthMonitorPro, has some nice logging features.

NetTrafficMeter seems OK although I can't find an option for monitoring bandwidth on individual interfaces, only overall bandwidth across all interfaces. Thanks the for suggestions so far

NetLimiter 2 (free version) would be my choice.

I'm sure DUM does that doesn't it?

Having said that I need an alternative too, DUm doesn't get on with vista

You have selected to monitor a specific card right? E.g. monitor asus wifi card

Awwww.

If you'd actually took my suggestion, rather than having a little fit, you'd have found PRTG/MRTG/RRDGraph (the latter I could've been clearer perhaps, but you're really looking for something along the lines of Cacti).
First is a Windows app, MRTG uses Perl, Cacti wants PHP/MySQL (which can all be made to work in Windows too - I used to run MRTG in Windows XP).

Product is graphs like this (Cacti):

Windows does SNMP (sure I had a better link than that but meh), with not a lot of work (all you need is a Windows CD), and it's even more trivial in Linux/Mac OS.
