Internet/network traffic metering

JasX

Quick one,

am trying to monitor/meter network traffic to see how much some new video conferencing softwareI have uses, the one i usually use doesn't seem to be detecting any traffic from it, even when in a meeting and streaming video to/from another site accross the net.

Google brings up scores of these things so was wondering if anyone could recommend a good / reliable few for me to try next?

lol, thats the one i was using that was giving me the zero reading, I did a quick forum search and and found netmeter in expresso's sticky.

Thats picking the video streams up nicely humming along at 150 kBps

wonder why the analogx one missed it, even following reboot and restarting my network adapter (windowsXP)

I rather like NetWorx - you can set it to ignore LAN traffic, and just measure the data going from your PC to 'the internet', and vice versa.

Did you have the correct network interface selected?

It seems to be monitoring "All TCP/IP Devices" by default with no option to change it, if you go to the configure menu its all just about how it displays/whether it auto minimises etc
