[RESOLVED] Monitor Internet Traffic.

Hi all,
I want to make a Small Traffic Monitoring Program for our house. Since in South Africa Internet is One of the many things that are way overpriced I want to monitor each computers traffic with a small Program since even when we are not at home for a day we might easily use 2 gigs of data. Somewhere a computer is downloading like mad?

For a 4 mib(you only get 3.5 at most) line here Will cost you around R413(36 GBP/ 58 Usd) per month and One gig of data around R19(1.68 GBP/ 2.70 Usd) - R112(9.9 GBP - 15 USD).

Ok enough Complaining. :blush::blush: Each Computer in our house Connects to the internet either with lan or Wlan So is their a way to get how much traffic passes through one of those OR is there a way to monitor the total internet traffic regardless of how it connects to the internet ?

Something quick. Something like this? 5 textboxes and a timer set to 100 milliseconds

Code:

---

Imports System.Net.NetworkInformation

Public Class Form1
    Dim Properties As IPGlobalProperties
    Dim StatV4 As IPGlobalStatistics

    Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
        TextBox1.Text = ("")
        TextBox2.Text = ("")
        TextBox3.Text = ("")
        TextBox4.Text = ("")
        TextBox5.Text = ("")
        Properties = IPGlobalProperties.GetIPGlobalProperties
        StatV4 = Properties.GetIPv4GlobalStatistics
        TextBox1.Text = "Hostname: " & Properties.HostName & vbNewLine
        TextBox2.Text &= "Received: " & StatV4.ReceivedPackets & vbNewLine
        TextBox3.Text &= "Delivered: " & StatV4.ReceivedPacketsDelivered & vbNewLine
        TextBox4.Text &= "Discarded: " & StatV4.ReceivedPacketsDiscarded & vbNewLine
        TextBox5.Text &= "Forwarded: " & StatV4.ReceivedPacketsForwarded & vbNewLine
    End Sub

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
        Timer1.Start()
    End Sub

Hmm That looks good Except that that Counts Packets. Since packets can vary of sizes , It would be better to Count bytes if possible, But packets should also give an indication of where the most traffic is.

After quite a few google searches i Found that everything is Under NetworkInterfaces.
