Bandwith monitoring software

[Amp34]

Is there any software that monitors bandwidth from multiple computers and tallies it up into one report? Following on from the BT capping thread i'm a bit dubious as to whether their reporting is actually accurate and would like to install a piece of software on to all the computers in the house (3 Win7 and one Vista) for the next month and see whether it actually tallies. I don't know if there are actually any that do this?

Thanks.

I use the built in gadgets side bar thing for the desktop, theres a newtork meter one, which tells you how much you've downloaded/uploaded and the current speeds, however, only works on that computer, so maybe just add up the numbers from all of your computers and see how much??

heres the link anyway:

I find the network meter completely inaccurate, Tomato or DD-WRT..

Yeah the sidebar network monitor isn't what I need. I'm using the homehub2 so can't use custom firmware. I could look at the data throughput in that but when it's reset it kills the data transfer amount...

http://www.cacti.net/ - you'll need one machine to collect the data, cacti can be got as a virtual applicance for running as a vm instance.

Install SNMP and set the IPS / Community string etc... and it'll plot everything from CPU to NIC usage on funky graphs.
