Hello Michael. How are things? I see you have moved from the CNC.
If you want an idea of what traffic you are using at a particular
moment you can use nload, which gives you a live chart of traffic in
and out. To get more long term information there are a couple of
packages that I can think of: MRTG and Munin. Of the two I would say
that Munin is easier to set up.
Bye,
Joe
