I have a small network with two cheap dlink routers on it, one attached to a
cable modem and the other to a DSL modem. I route certain data through the
cable modem, and everything else goes through the DSL.
However, on the computers only have eth0 and I just use route commands on the
individual computers to sort out what I want to go out through each modem. My
default gateway is 192.168.0.254 and I custom route certain traffic through
192.168.0.1.
Ultimately, I have three kinds of traffic that I'm interested in counting from
each computer on my network: internal traffic, from one computer to another
(from 192.168.0.x to 192.168.0.y); external traffic through 192.168.0.254;
external traffic through 192.168.0.254. I would like to look at a report on
each of my computers and find out how much data each one has sent and received
during the period in each of those categories.
