Description
Right now, at school, there is a limit (cap) on the weekly bandwidth that I can use. Unfortunately, the school does not provide bandwidth monitors, and there is no comprehensive program for linux. It would be nice if there was a program that monitored bandwidth (on all or some ports) and totaled it to provide daily/weekly/monthly totals. An alarm built into this to warn you when you approach a limit would be helpful.

It needs to use time-of-day and other kinds of limits, and provide ISP data integration. The local machine is the best place to regulate bandwidth.
Without policy, it's nothing more than what i have now.
