Question Data Caps

[SHSPVR]

Well got to say after having this Asus 3100 router for about week now it one outstand piece of hardware other then the fact that it run a bit hot that bit of a disappointment but read that min other are some way, How ever it missing a few features I need and yes I saw post on laptop cooler thank god I had an old junk one laying a round plan get better one at Walmart ONN USB Powered Laptop Cooling Pad with 120mm Fans or may order Cooler Master NotePal X-Lite II which a bigger 140mm fan.

My question are what is "Starting day of monthly cycle" for ?, I guest that it the start date on my Data Caps which start on 21 day and end on 20day of every month.
One other thing I don't see is where would be Restart Traffic counter be at time I need this which my old Netgear 3700 had where I could set it at 3:00am because Cable ONE dose everything so odd ball vs other Cable companies.

I hope I did right for Traffic History location to save for Traffic Monitor Daily History that if and when Cable ONE try to pull it BS on us I have some proof
Using and old 1GB USB flash drive
I went to USB Application then Network Place (Samba) Share / Cloud Disk then Add new folder in sda1 (Logs) then Tools then Other Setting then Traffic history location change Custom location then Save history location to /mnt/sda1/Logs/ apply setting
So I'm guest that this how it done right? as there doesn't seem to be any official Wiki/documentation for Asuswrt-merlin on this under Misc HowTo and Guides.

Never mind I had check YES for "Create or reset data files: Enable if using a new location"

Any know what Enable IPTraffic (per IP monitoring) ?.

Got any photo on what this may look like as a Status

What about my first post

What the deal QoS - Traffic Monitor Daily History in screenshot that look so wrong
Reception (Download) = Incoming Internet packets 14.65 GB
Transmission (Upload) = Outgoing Internet packets 15.88 GB
For Grand Total of 30.53 GB this is so wrong

Traffic Analyzer - Statistic doesn't even match dose NAT Acceleration cause this ?

I just wonder how come you taking the Temperatures Status add it to System Status page ?.

There's a screenshot of IPTraffic on the official website: https://asuswrt.lostrealm.ca/screenshots

Yes, there's even a notice on the webui stating that NAT acceleration can interfere with traffic monitoring results.

I just wonder how come you taking the Temperatures Status add it to System Status page ?.

Because people are already putting far too emphasis on the temperature, not understanding what is normal and what isn't. I don't want to make it even more in-your-face. It shouldn't be worried about unless you are actively experiencing issues. What a lot of people consider "too high" is actually perfectly normal.

I take it that the 6 screenshot down with it say Traffic monitoring is also enhanced, with the addition of traffic breakdown per device, either historical, or realtime. is therigth one you are ref to ?.

Yes, there's even a notice on the webui stating that NAT acceleration can interfere with traffic monitoring results.

What I ref to is doesn't look right when it should be more like below vs the above post I did
Reception (Download) = Incoming Internet packets 14.95 GB
Transmission (Upload) = Outgoing Internet packets 2.00 GB
For Grand Total of 16.96 GB
even with it disable it still show the wrong monitoring results as of today

I just think it would look cool in the main start page window and even with todays desktop we run monitoring tool

Thanks for your time RMerlin

This is a screenshot of one of the IPTraffic pages:

Don't forget that historical data will still be incorrect. Only new data accumulated after you disabled NAT acceleration should be accurate.

Thanks that one I was look at but wasn't sure and I just wondering is there any reason why it can't be done per MAC-Address ?

Ok so I need wait a few day to get a better over view of this

Because IPTraffic usees a Netfilter module that tracks IPs, not MACs. Someone would have to develop a whole new Netfilter module to track it in a different way.

Might be a useful thing - vnstat...

Pretty lightweight there...

Ok I see

Sorry to hijack but don't feel it's worth making a new thread. Anyone know of a way to record packet loss specifically? I have 5% loss just pinging my ISP and curious just how much of my data cap I'm wasting due to packet loss.

From what I recall of this you should need worry about that as of receive acknowledgement of receipt in the expected order
In short it if ISP doesn't receive acknowledgement forwarding then it shouldn't count toward your data cap you out a few kb on the sent request transmission
But like all thing nothing is ever fool proof
