Is there a way to measure different types of traffic on a MT device using dude?
I mean, I have already a chart for the total bit rate of an interface. I would like to measure the percentual of http, ftp, dns, icmp, p2p traffic from this total bit rate.
Should I consider a specific traffic analyser program or dude? I was trying to setup mangle rules to count the different types of traffic and grap its info via snmp, but didnt found yet a MIB that read the mangle list statistics. Any ideas? Please, thank you in advance.
I think you will need to set up queues based on the mangle rules and then use SNMP on the queues.
Yes, indeed. At least, its the only way I found so far. My doubts across this “way” to get the mirrored traffic for analysis are about what else this queue (which is supposed to be unlimited at all) could reflect to the overall performance. I mean, I need to spend CPU on this process and I dont know yet the results/effects… and perhaps, a managed switch for traffic mirroring is needed instead only a appropriate resource. Unless you have large free resources, this may not be irrelevant at all for traffic analysis. By that, a managed switch device is being considered for this job. Between other considerations, this is also required to not give us undesirable interference over a ongoing QoS studies. Thank you anyway.
