WAN or LAN Bandwidth? #4

Closed Calaryan closed 9 years ago

Is the measurements given for download and upload for both WAN and LAN? If so could it be changed to be configurable so its either WAN, LAN or both. This could be useful depending on what type of network issue you are trying to track down.

This is only measured from wan to lan and lan to wan. Due to the way consumer routers have an unmanaged switch for the lab ports measuring man to man is not possible. Wlan to lan is also not possible due to the fact by default dd-wrt is configured to bridge the two. Counters are only possible on routed connections that pass through iptables.
