libconic can do that: http://maemo.org/api_refs/5.0/5.0-final/libconic/ > 2) Is it ok if I monitor the trasmitted/received data using ifconfig? > If yes, how can I execute ifconfig from an application running as > user?

There already exists a Personal Dataplan Monitor applet that might already fulfill your use case :) And even if not, its source might be a good starting point for your app (or simply add changes that you need and submit a patch to Andrew): http://maemo.org/downloads/product/Maemo5/personal-gprs-mon/ HTH.
