Bandwidth/Traffic Monitoring Options (beehaw.org)

I've been getting repeated emails from my ISP about "exceeding my bandwidth cap" and they feel very incorrect.

My current router is a Cisco RV260, and it doesn't have a great way of tracking traffic. (There's a port traffic screen that does give tx/rx bytes, but no way to see any date ranges).

Is there anything out there that can give an accurate account of Internet traffic? It would be nice if I could see destination domain/IPs, just for kicks and giggles, but an overall traffic count is all I really need.

Thanks!

The RV260 supports SNMP. You can use that with a network monitoring tool of your choice to get ifInOctets/ifOutOctets data. The rate of change on those numbers is then the amount of traffic sent/received.

Ah. Good to know! I'm starting to dive down this rabbit hole, and we'll see where it takes me. Thanks :)
