Hi everyone,
I have installed Linux as a Network Address Translating computer in my company. It is doing all the NATting for the company (hooray for Linux : )), which are about 200 Windows machine. We have one T1 line connecting us to the internet, and because of Nimda Virus, we are getting timeouts and bandwidth overusage. So I want to start monitoring the bandwidth usage. How can I monitor which computer are using the majority of the bandwidth? I already am using ethereal to see all the address and usage from everyone but this does not tell me much. (After all there are about two hundred computers with internet connection) I want to translate this information I have collected in ethereal into some sort of report that tells me who is using the majority of the bandwidth (both in average and in burst rate). Also, what kind of bandwidth pattern should I look for for computer that are infected by Nimda. I am wondering if I can check who has Nimda just by looking at the IP address information.
