I can't tell you how to monitor quality of bandwidth - that sentence doesn't quite make sense, but I'll make some assumptions as to what you're really trying to do and say that you want to see what is happening with the bandwidth that you do have, and what is using it. I've used the "rate" package to create simple monitors of traffic types which use the widely-understood "tcpdump" filter syntax. This allows me to watch, for instance, all UDP traffic on RTP port ranges, or all packets being generated by a certain machine, as long as the system in question can "see" all the packets (on a hub, or running on the device that is the "router" for the packets.) I used it a while back to do the IAX2 trunking tests, for instance. http://s-tech.elsat.net.pl/bmtools/ bash-3.2# ./rate -v -r 1 -i fxp2 -f "host my.sip.client" -R or bash-3.2# ./rate -v -r 1 -i fxp2 -f "src net 10.0.0.0/8" -R JT --- John Todd jt...@digium.com +1-256-428-6083 Asterisk Open Source Community Director _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
