#12 rrdtool integration
How about integrating bandwidthd with the rrdtool library.
Rrdtool is a program and library for working with Round
Robin database files. It also includes tools to render
the .rrd database files (this can be done regulary, or
on-demand).
The benefits of this will be:
- bandwidthd development will concentrate on packet
captureing, classification, and other lowlevel stuff.
- log files will be handled by the rrdtool library. a
.rrd database doesn't need to be rotated because it
never grows. its really designed for storing this kind
of information.
- rendering will be handled by outside programs
(on-demand or otherwise). You can create any kind of
graphics with the rrdtool tools.

I will look into this, I hate to add dependencies, but the log
files are a problem. More preformance and better rotation
would be a huge plus.

The graphs created by bandwidthd are not really nice. I
dislike that in and out are scaled by the maximum of both.
Users tend to recieve a lot more data than they send.
rrdtool integration will make i possible to make all kinds
of graphs.

I scale the graphics that way so you have a common frame of
reference, I prefer it that way, but you can modify that
behaivore in the new database driven version of bandwidthd
pretty easily.
