Ideally, I'd like > to see a real-time list of the main bandwidth consuming communicators... So you want to monitor the traffic going through your router? I imagine that would be difficult to do from one of the endpoints in your LAN (your Gentoo box). The switch should only route to your machine traffic destined for it, so how to measure the bandwidth the other machines are consuming between themselves and the outside world? If there is a way to do this I'd be very interested :) Mike -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
