Hi.

My router is a Linksys BESFR41. The Linksys configuration software does not give much information in term of traffic going through the router. The "Outgoing Access Log" gives the LAN IP, Destination URL ans Service/Port Number. The incoming Log Table gives the Source Ip and Destination Port Number. Nothing more than that.

I want to know how much MB are going through the router for each machine. I do not wan't to install software on each machine.

Is there software that will monitor traffic at the router and give more statistics ?

Thank you

If your router supports snmp you can use something like MRTG

Thanks.
