Good day. can mikrotik or is there a program that can generate bandwidth consumption of each ip address connected on the network? Please see sample pic below. Thanks!
Yes, using this feature http://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:IP/Traffic_Flow
I asked this question on the General forum as well… it would be very nice when there was some feature that
allows gathering of just that data, on the router itself. So, not like Traffic Flow and Accounting a collection of
data per connection or ip-address-pair, which takes lots of space and has to be retrieved by a program on
an external system, but a simple system that allows collection of data only grouped by internal IP address
(a number of subnets configured for the purpose), and then can have limited size and so it could run without
external system and be retrievable on the WebFig and commandline. Maybe only totals, maybe some
separate historic intervals (this day, previous day, …).
Is such a feature available or planned?
my apology. i actually pasted the wrong image. Please see image below. can Mikdotik produce similar reports like this. reports of bandwidth consumption per ip address.
Yes, that is what I mean as well.
In fact the “Accounting” feature that is already available does almost exactly this, but it does it
with way too much detail because it does not accumulate for local addresses but for every pair
of local and remote address. A simple checkmark in its setup to change this would be all I wish,
and likely it suits your request as well.
yeah. i’m looking for a simplified bandwidth consuption of a specific address in a given time range. /IP ACCOUNTING do ip pairs session and i can imagine a huge list if i pull a whole day worth data. so i guess Mikrotik don’t have it yet. any 3rd party software that can maybe do it?
Yes there is lots of software, free(open) free(no cost) and paid, that can do analysis of the traffic in many ways.
This will normally operate on the “/ip traffic-flow” rather than the “/ip accounting” data because it is an industry standard.
For example, NTOP is a free program.
However, in some cases (including mine) it would be nice when it could all be handled inside the router like
“/ip accounting” but in a way that makes it practical to have it running all the time without overflowing.
I think that should be possible when “/ip accounting” had the option to account only grouped by internal IP address.
(of course it would need a list of interfaces or subnets that are considered to be internal)
