Re: [bwm-tools-tech] Graphing Traffic

[go0ogl3 <go...@gm...>]

  I'm new to bwm but if you really want to use bwm tools to graph voip
traffic, why don't u use the nfmark? You only have to mark the packets
from the voip and shape them with bwm tools. This way you can also
graph that voip traffic.
   
  As an alternate solution you can use ipfm, bandwidthd, mrtg+rrdtool
or one of the many others.
