Hi, |

Not too long ago, I set up a router powered by Gentoo Linux and old |
| 4 |
computer hardware. So far, it has worked like a charm and I am quite |
| 5 |
pleased with my accomplishment. |

I am quite active in various BitTorrent communities, however my ISP |
| 8 |
doesn't take kindly to me eating all their precious bandwidth. Up |
| 9 |
until now, I have been using a cheap little windows utility to monitor |
| 10 |
monthly bandwidth and warn me if I go above my ISP's maximum. |
| 11 |
However, this has become inaccurate due to my use of Windows network |
| 12 |
shares. This machine now routinely records upload bandwidth in excess |
| 13 |
of 300 gigabytes per month, however I do not know which part of that |
| 14 |
is actually going to the interwebs. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
My question is this: is there a utility in Portage that you could |
| 17 |
recommend that would monitor bandwidth on a specific network |
| 18 |
interface, send me monthly reports via email and warn me if I am using |
| 19 |
too much bandwidth? |

Thanks a bunch |
