    Question Network programming question

    Presume a normal gateway based LAN.
    Would it be possible to make some software that lists the amount of internettraffic each computer uses?
    For example:
    Computer 1: 30 Mb
    Computer 2: 120 Mb
    Computer 3: 50 Mb
    Computer 4: 300 Mb

    Do you think it's possible or is it all been protected by the OS'es? If you think you know a strategy I can use, pls answer tot this question.

    the only way i can think of doing that is this:

    1) make a program that monitors (but does not restrict) the amount of internet traffic coming to and from a computer. (the hard part)
    2) install this program onto all the computers you wish to monitor.
    3) make a client program that connects to the monitor programs, and get it to ask for the statistics of each computer.
    4) when the client program gets the stats of each computer, get it to display them on screen or what ever.

    hope this helps...

    It depends on what the OS is really, either way I would if it is Windows that you look at the Platform SDK as I am sure you can create an extension to the network layer somehow...

    I am sure the network traffic is stored somewhere in the options by windows(at least on NT,2k and XP), this is split into sent recieved but will also include general network traffic.

    Have a look at creating a proxy server for the actual clients???

    Anyway hope this helps.
