What's currently being cooked...

I'm adding another scoop of Tomato to Asuswrt-Merlin. Courtesy of the cstats project which I am integrating into this firmware, this will bring an often requested feature into Asuswrt-Merlin:

There's still a lot of work left to do, but it will eventually get there

Awesome job, really looking forward to this one!

Thanks!

The advanced traffic monitoring code was merged into the main development branch today. While it's mostly done, it still needs to go through various tests and tweaks before being considered ready.

In the mean time, here's another screenie:

This page will auto-refresh itself every 2 secs, allowing you to get real-time monitoring of the traffic for your network devices. Column headers can also be clicked to sort by that specific column.

The (hidden here) filter options let you enter a specific list of IPs to display (or to exclude from the list). The name resolution can also be disabled if wished.

Name resolution first goes through the Netbios list built by Networkmap, and it will overlay any name found on the DHCP Static page that the user has entered on top of that list. Ideally, you will want to set up a static IP for any device to monitor, to ensure that they don't change IP over time. So just entering a name at the same time you setup the reservation would let you easily identify it on the traffic page.

Very nice.

Don't forget what really is a small matter of the fix for Firefox and the Static DHCP.

The Asus Beta seems solid. No problems since installing it.

3.1.0.3.90

When do you move to their newest core?

3.1.0.3.90 is very, VERY old. Don't be fooled by the 3.1 there, this is really a beta version of 3.0.0.3.90, going back to nearly a year ago...

The Firefox issue has already been (re)fixed.

The latest codebase available is still 260. They haven't released anything newer for Broadcom devices.

 

[jsmiddleton4]

If you are real close to releasing .22 then I'll wait to update the Asus beta.

Looks like I was fooled. Beta status with "newer" looking version number....

I'm glad to see of the work you're doing on the traffic monitoring.

While on that topic, here's what I see ... and I'm having trouble making sense of it. (image attached). It isn't incredibly useful as displayed...

I do have the RT-AC66U hanging off a port on the RT-16N, so technically the uplink is 1GB, so the "maximum" rate of 900Mb/s could make sense. But the traffic to/from the clients is Internet traffic, and I have a 36Mb/s download speed.

As an aside, it'd be really nice if it were possible to display the Traffic Monitor stats in Mb/s rather than KB/s (do people think in terms of KB/s? ).

In any case, thanks for all the work you're putting into this!

[this is 3.0.0.4.260.21 on RT-AC66U]

This is exactly what was missing - who is the biggest consumer, i.e. who to blame.

Awesome Merlin can't wait for this thanks a lot

How about doing per device bandwidth limit?

 

[seth_space]

not sure if the logging is working correctly. I have a usb key in the asus rt-ac66u and there is a file created : tomato_cstats_10bf48d9a5a0.gz

It's only 29Kb after days of traffic. The synology sending lots of data to three logitech radios and collecting lots of traffic by backup app only shows ca 5MB

Only Internet traffic is monitored. LAN to LAN goes directly through the switch, so it's not monitored.

The saved data doesn't take much space. It's only a list of IPs with daily traffic per IP, all binary stored so it takes very little space.

 

[RMerlin]

How about doing per device bandwidth limit?

No plan for this at this time.

 

[seth_space]

no plans tot monitor lan tot lan traffic?

I guess i stll need Ntop then?
