Sorry to start another thread which is vaguely related to traffic shaping but...
We all know there are various apps to measure downloads but is there anything with the ability to measure traffic on a home network (3 pc's, a laptop and an xbox?)
However, you'd need to install the same app on all the above and then totalise all up, but it would then include all the traffic between each.
The obvious point of measurement would be the modem and traffic in/out, can this be done via snmp or are there any routers out there that you can take traffic measurements from the inputof the modem?
It still amazes me that this problem has been around for years with talk of capping etc with numerous providers but I aren't aware of a single isp that provides a solution to this which enables a consumer to accurately monitor their own usage - does such an ISP exist?
