[Beta 3] Vnstat on Merlin - UI, CLI and email - data use monitoring - now with data limit monitoring

[Jack Yaz]

I have it all figured out and working locally. I'm just not ready for prime time with this Diversion update. I guess I packed too many new features into it to finish it all at the time it is needed the most

Decrypting with the md5 flag and reencrypting with the new flags so no user action required?

Spot on, thanks to your code snippet.

I compare the daily values of Traffic Analyzer vs Vnstat and found that vnstat give higher rx and tx values
Below values for Mar 20
Traffic Analyzer 89.32 GB (Reception) 81.94 GB(Tranmission) 171.25 GB(Total)
vnstat 94.28 GB(RX) 98.43(TX) GB 192.70 GB(Total)
Cut-Through-Fowarding is enabled on my AC88U (merlin 386.1_2) and vnstat at version 0.9.5.
Do i take that vnstat traffic stats are more accurate compared to traffic analyzer?

Not necessarily. Anything that bypasses features of the TCP/IP stack end can end up with false totals. You should check usage against a known meter (such as the one some ISPs provide for customers).

I see, okay.
So for accurate measurement, CTF should be turned off as well.

Please use that thread for any continuing discussion and many, many thanks for your feedback to Jack and me.

I'll ask the mods to lock this one.
