BandwidthD

BandwidthD for Linux is network monitoring software designed to track and visualize TCP/IP subnet traffic usage. It generates detailed HTML reports with graphs accessible via a web browser, making it easy to monitor network bandwidth over time.

Detailed Traffic Monitoring

You can monitor network traffic on a per-IP and per-protocol basis (including HTTP, TCP, UDP, ICMP, VPN, P2P, etc.) with clear color-coded displays. This helps you pinpoint which hosts or protocols consume the most bandwidth, allowing efficient bandwidth management.

Web-Based Interface

BandwidthD automatically creates dynamic HTML pages with graphs representing bandwidth usage, accessible through any standard web browser. This streamlined web interface presents real-time and historical data without requiring complex tools.

Database Support and Multi-Sensor Integration

On Linux, BandwidthD supports PostgreSQL for storing traffic data long-term and can aggregate data from multiple monitoring sensors across various network segments. This enables centralized and comprehensive traffic analysis for complex network environments.

These capabilities make BandwidthD a practical tool for system and network administrators needing clear, web-accessible bandwidth monitoring on Linux systems, enabling you to optimize network performance and quickly detect anomalies or excessive usage.
