I have been testing data use (data comsumption) for the last weeks because I am unsure I shall go for the new wireless broadband instead of the old adsl. The problem is howto find how much data (GB) it use in different configurations. I use the vpnserver and the wireless broadband most of the time only for the webcamera.
My tests (streaming video) show about 1.0 GB per hour in the traffic analyzer i asus, but the provider of the wireless broadband/router cost me 1.5 GB per hour (one example). Of course it differ with different quality and these numbers is from HD 1920-1080, 6 frames/sek and 2048 bitrate. I also varies over the day/night because of automatic "settings".
The provider of the wireless broadband gives me numbers for UP and Down and this also varies a lot: DOWN about 240 MB to about 400 MB per hour and I cannot explain why. All test is done without any other devices or use / logged in.
The main problem is that the difference between Asus traffic analyzer and the wireless broadband is about 50 % plus for the last one. Can it have something to do with the vpn? Maybe this is normal?
I also am looking for a method to set a maximum limit for the broadband use (Mb/s), but only find minimum limit in Qos. Have I missed something?
