If you are looking for download speed, your approach will probably work.
If you want bandwidth stats, use MRTG.
It's already written. It's customizable. It's perl. It does an snmp get
(defaults to the interface usage but can read any snmp object) every five
minutes and makes a slick daily graph. Then it aggregates the data to make
weekly, monthly and yearly graphs.

Subject: Measure bandwidthHello ListI wanted to get some basic bandwidth statistics across a WAN link. The approach I think I am going to take is the following:Use a perl scipt to read in a bunch of files, determine the sizes, start a timer (not sure how to do this yet), copy the files across the link (winxp->win2003 server), stop the timer,and finally write out the bytes/sec metric to a log file. I planned on scheduling the perl script to run every hour or so for a week.Are there modules of interest for this project. Any suggestions on the approach?ThanksEric
