Hi,

because of my problems with ISP yesterday I got a bit angry at them because it 
was not first time when they messed configuration on their AP I'm connecting 
to. So, as the first I searched what can be used for monitoring my network and 
then gave a try to vnstat I haven't use before (ok that is not that new thing, 
but I simply haven't used that up to now because of ntop, netstat, ... so many 
tools in the area ;-) What vnstat does is that is collects traffic information 
for you via a service reading /sys. You can then export some statistics for 
various periods.

  *   https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/vnstat-command-in-linux-with-examples/
  *   I also learned about "ip -o -t monitor" which is way easier to use than 
checking logs and/or tcpdump when having connection issues

and then I was searching for some information about testing, monitoring, 
maintaining networks. I came across archive of NANOG talks.

I really don't know if it is interesting for any of yast developers and I 
didn't make to go through everything I wanted yet but this caught my eyes so far

  *   using open source tools to validate network configuration 
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9hZiW66jw4)
  *   a practical guide to (Correctly) troubleshooting with traceroute 
(https://archive.nanog.org/meetings/nanog45/presentations/Sunday/RAS_traceroute_N45.pdf)

btw for my next study & learn period I planned to find out what's new in 
network emulation area. I'll probably take this 
https://www.networkstraining.com/network-simulation-software-tools/ as a start 
point.
