Network traffic monitoring program

[FMJGomerPyle]

I'm looking for a program that will monitor the total amount of network traffic in and out of my computer during a 24 hour period. I want it to be able to disconnect my network connection once I've reached a certain amount of data. I've tried DU Meter but it won't disconnect my network connection. Anyone have any ideas?

well, because I'm a complete nerd, I'd probably run MRTG on that interface [just to get a nifty graph while I'm at it] and then parse the MRTG html or data files on a timed basis [using windoze scheduler] using perl or some other type of scripting language, which could then turn on and turn off the network interfaces via a command line.

Yea, it's a terrible, terrible work around, but ... it'd work I don't know if there are any existing utilities that do this sort of thing.

SMJ,

should be easy .. run SNMP with MRTG ... you should get your traffic ... and stop the mrtg monitoring after 24 hours.

anyway, you should disable snmp after you're done with your monitoring. there's too much snmp security problems nowadays

good luck

Can you share some links on some of these SNMP security problems you mention?
