Network Traffic Measures #41

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
While going over the way that the NetIn and NetOut Measures actually
calculate network traffic, todoroff found some interesting things:

[16:26] <btodoroff> It uses GetIfTable and the resulting MIB_IFROW structure.
[16:26] <btodoroff> This gives total octets through the interface.
[16:27] <btodoroff> It keeps a vector of past results and does some magic
fu to come up with a speed.
[16:27] <btodoroff> I don't like it, and it seems there should be a better
way using performance counters or such.
[16:31] <btodoroff> See void CMeasureNet::UpdateIFTable() in MeasureNet.cpp.

An improvement on how rainmeter gathers data for these values would be useful.

While on the topic of these two Measures, it would be useful if they
returned Bytes in/out, rather than bits.  Bytes are used the majority of
the time, rather than bits, by most users.

The NetIn command is registering activity for the lan network while it is 
plugged in,
but not online. I would like instead for my internet connection activity to be
measured and displayed. Possible?

So, your sharing the internet connection of another computer through the 
network?

For future questions, help, etc, could you direct your browser to
http://www.rainmeter.net/forum/index.php please. It is our effort to keep the 
load of
reading and responding to posts, off the developers, so they have more time for 
coding.

Yes limit data collection to an array of ip address/subnets : 

[NetInLan]
ipFilter = +(192.168.0.1/24)
// this only pays attention to data sent to this subnet

[NetInWan]
ipFilter = -(203.122.12.202, 182.442.192.10, 10.1.1.20)
// this ignores data sent from or to these ip addresses

[NetInWanFreeQuota]
ipFilter = +(203.122.12.202, 182.442.*.10, 10.1.1.20)
// this only pays attention to data sent to these ip addresses
