More frequently, I need to monitor traffic across our gateway (router) rather than my local box.
For that I basically do:
<tt> one=`snmpget 192.168.0.1 ifInOctets` while true; do sleep 1 two=`snmpget ifInOctets` echo "($two - $one) * 8" | bc one=$two done</tt>
and<nobr> <wbr></nobr>/Voila!/ it gives me a running display of bits per second. [In reality, I track ifOutOctets as well, of course -- and "snmpget" requires more arguments. Fleshing that out is left as an exercise for the reader.]
