Thread: Analyzing bandwith usage

In our hostel we share a common internet connection i.e. main connection from modem comes to a switch and then from that switch connection is distributed. I wanted to know if there is any way to log the bandwidth usage of each IP address as their packets pass through the same address 192.168.1.1

Install in all computers. As ADMIN deny access to the meter/s. Should start at start up ( If NU is available can be ignored. see advanced settings )
A slight margin of error likely with ISP usage readings.

Tautology Bandwidth Meter - Internet Traffic Usage Monitor
( keeps daily/monthly records)
ShaPlus Bandwidth Meter - Freeware to display bandwidth consumed for session, day and month
(latest only Totals. No record kept of daily usage . recheck for older versions)
Google search "Bandwidth meters" will give you more applications. May get One meter which keeps record of usage of all computers in a LAN in one computer.(Master)

Para two: Why all this troubles. ? Get an unlimited connection 256Kbps or 512 Kbps.
