"meshnode_traffic" counter split (rx/tx, fwd?) #19

Open Adorfer opened 8 years ago

Adorfer commented 8 years ago

on current version (commit/9d8e9076e4a3471125955618eec64c75928dd3e3) i observe meshnode_traffic_tx and meshnode_traffic_rx split in "mgmt_traffic" and "traffic"

What of thas is "client rx/tx" and what is "mesh fwd rx/tx"? (I got those values separated in alfred, to determine what the mesh network and what the client-ap was taking. For an Offloader (without client) i don't see any significant traffic at the moment. And this value would be of great interest.)

Currently these structures are simply taken from announced. It is possible that there are probably more information I need to model as a struct or that there is work in announced necessary to get these values. Next week I will have a closer look at this.

If you take look at the structs anyway, id's like to make some different markup for "wifimesh" and "lanmesh". I do not know how announced reports this, but perhaps as "ibss/mesh" vs "eth0/eth1". (and meshvpn....)

as i am new to announced: what whould be the right way to dumpe the information sent by a node. either by calling /usr/bin/respondd manually on the node. Or on the collecting backend machine.

in the alfred it was the value of "forward" (see below)
