Sure, but I'd have to do it in the middle of the night when there is no other expected traffic (created by wife, kids, neighbours) and turn each thing off for a significant amount of time to actually see an effect. What I'd really like is an hourly breakdown of which IP used how much for a (say) 24 hr period. On Tue, Sep 17, 2013 at 8:39 PM, Christopher M. Bailey < chris@chrisbailey.au.com> wrote:

Does anyone know of a simple way of showing which of my machines on my home network is hogging all my data?

I recently discovered that something on my network is using ~30M per hour all day and night and I'd like to find out what it is. I guess I could go around and turn each thing off and check my ISP's usage meter over a few hours, but there must be a better way of doing it.

I have a WRT54GL running:

Firmware OpenWrt Kamikaze - With X-Wrt Extensions 8.09 Kernel Linux 2.4.35.4 #15 Fri Jan 22 11:36:55 CST 2010 MAC 00:18:39:ED:A2:73 Device Linksys WRT54G/GS/GL Board Broadcom BCM5352 chip rev 0 Username root

Web mgt. console Webif² Version r4838

I'm very lazy, so an installable package that can do this over a web interface would be ideal, but not necessary.

anyone?
