How To Minimize Network Bandwidth Usage
Jan 3, 2013
We run a small school and one of our campus sites is quite remote and our internet provider chares big dollars for internet downloads.One of our classes has just been upgraded to run over the internet and involves downloading 6Gig of video each time it is run. This will cost us approximatly $15 for each student and we have hunreds of student. We provide computers for this course work.

I have a problem I am running into... I replaced a 2621 with a 2911. The 2911 has three interfaces and I need to use all of them... Description:
gige0/0 dhcp static IP from ISP, public IP, they assign me 4 more usable public IPs gige0/1 broken into four VLANS, 108, 109, 120, 127, ip nat on 109 for them to get to the internet, and a static translation on 127 for the phone system to get to the internet gige0/2 assigned another public IP. A tenent has a linksys router on this interface, they want a public IP.
The problem is that this setup worked, but when we moved to the 2911, some nat translations are failing, and we would like to figure out how to minimize the number of public IPs we use (right now it is three + the static assigned dhcp). The nat that is not working is the nats to the 2001-3001 range. I am not sure why it is failing, but the router seems to indicate it thinks some of these overlap. This router is also doing a vpn to an asa... that seems to be working fine.

My home network has two routers. My setup is...modem to router 1, then router 1 to router 2. is there a way to track the bandwidth usage on the two routers. My ISP says that I'm going over my bandwidth allowance and that's because in my household, we are hardcore gamers, netflix, and internet users. Router 2 belongs to my sister-in-law, and router 1 is mine. But I want to know which and more importantly, "WHO" is using more of the bandwidth.

I have 4 laptops (WiFi), 2 desktops (LAN), xbox (LAN), and dish receiver (LAN) that are all connected to the internet using the method between the brackets. Recently i am running out of bandwidth, and what i am looking for is a freeware that i can install in one of the computers that could tell me which IP or MAC address used how much internet.I have read several articles: some articles point me to softwares which only monitor the computer that they are installed. Other posts argued that such thing can only be done through the main router. I know my router doesn't have such feature. I use SMC router.

Currently We have several Active Directory Domain at several Technical High Schools. These are used by us as a it educational unit(s). The Tech School System's IT Department has a fiber wan between the schools that allows communication between these units. We wanted to interconnect the unit's Active Directory's with Trusts or by combining them into one forest. However I am wondering How much bandwidth that alone would require? There make be some file access between units but not on a daily basis since the units are separate from one another. How much bandwidth do you think this would require?

I have a dell poweredge 830 (3.0 dual core pentium, 2gb ram, 2x160gb hdd in raid 1, dual port intel gigabit card). I'm trying to find a router OS that logs bandwidth by ips on the lan. I tried untangle and clearos neither of which have a feature (or one that I can find) that logs the bandwidth by ip. Apparently pfsense has a package you can install but I have never been able to get pfsense to work on this pc, it always errors in one way or another (on the 2.0rc3 I can't access the web page, it says it is missing a file).

I want to use MRTG to monitor my DSL connection bandwidth useage.
Should I monitor:
ATM 0/3/0 or
Dialer 1 or
Virtual-Access 2
ps. is the 'BW' aspect of show interfaces important? I have 56Kbit/sec on Dialer 1, 100,000 Kbit/sec on Dialer 1 and 1024Kbit/sec on ATM.

Do larger computer screens use more data? Or is it just a matter of screen resolution?
Is there a difference between large, small, laptops, and tablets in bandwidth consumption if all the screens were set to a resolution of 1024 x768?

Region : Romania
Model : TL-WR841ND
Hardware Version :
Firmware Version : 3.13.27 Build 121101 Rel.38183n
ISP : cosmote
hardware version is WR841N v8.wireless works just fine. i use it for my smartphone and an old laptop. i use ethernet cable to connect to main computer where all is ok until i start using my bit torrent client. as soon as i build up traffic above 1MB the ethernet portion of the router freezes and needs a reboot. when frozen, wireless is still working and i still have access on the lan to the router via my browser. i got this router so i could have wifi for my phone. my old router (asus rx3041) worked just fine and i accessed my isp at the maximum speeds it would allow on a 60 gigabit connection.

however recently when i check my internet usage log on my wireless company (Rogers) the usage is totally off from what my bandwidth tracker shows me. So i decide to turn off my wifi and see what happens, there has always been this weird wifi connection appearing whenever my wifi appears, then afterwards when i turn off my wifi the suspicious wifi connections disappear. is this possible that someone is using our wifi? i might just be overreacting but it has brought me to concern that if the usage continues my family will have to end up paying over $30 for extra internet use. it is very frustrating me because when i check my DHCP client table it only shows 3 connection, ethernet - my desktop which is not turned on, 2 wireless connection - my laptop and my sister's laptop.

I have been using this router for quite some time, with a setup like.. Cable Modem ==> Vonage ==> WRT160Nv3 ==> PC. It has been working very fine for all these years (6), but now I hear static disturbances in my phone calls, and so I decided to do port forwarding for the vonage device, to minimize the noise. This device uses a static ip address of 192.168.15.1, and in the Linksys software, I am not able to use any ip addresses other than "192.168.1.*" in the port forwarding page.

I'm having trouble setting up a wireless internet connection for my computers, I connected the patch cable from my modem to a wireless router, then connected to that network with a usb for my computer.I was able to connect to the network, but couldn't seem to actually get into the internet.

I have an old computer (Dell gx280) that has a external usb 2.0 hard drive connected to it. I was trying to copy the files over a gigabit network connection to another computer and it was only transferring at approx. 2.5 megabytes a second. This was only using a small fraction of the gigabit network card in both the source and destination computer. I saw the CPU was maxed out on the source PC b/c of an application. Once I quit that application the CPU usage went back to essentially nothing. The copy job then jumped up to 14 megabytes a second and was using 30-35% of the gigabit connection.
The NIC and the USB ports are on the motherboard. How did the CPU usage slow this whole process down and was it impacting the network card, the USB port or both?

I just have an experience to relate. I was provided the Cisco DPC 3825 unit for my home by my ISP. I couldn't get a strong enough signal to reach my smart tv about 50 to 60 away from the unit, which is in my office for computer uses. I purchased a Netgear extender to extend the signal. I was having trouble connecting the extender to the Cisco unit and get an internet connection. So I phoned my ISP and was told by the person on the phone that their Cisco unit cannot connect to this extender.
I found out that the Cisco unit was set to hidden by my son. After changing this setting I was able to easily connect the Netgear extender to the Cisco unit and get internet and a strong enough signal to my smart tv.

I was wondering if there is a way to monitor the total bandwidth available at any given time? My ISP claims and is charging me for a certain amount of bandwidth but I suspect that during the day I am getting much less.
I would like to track available bandwidth continuously (or every 5, 10, 15 minutes) and log that data so I can show them the results. I'm on a Mac 10.7 but can use Windows XP also.

I've been having a bit of a problem lately trying to play Battlefield 3 on my PS3 when other computers are running on my network.
I'm looking for a program or method to set bandwidth limits on some devices to try to guarantee the PS3 enough bandwidth to play without lagging.
With the research I have done what I can find is that there is something called Quality of Service (QoS), and traffic shaping -- which are good and fine but I don't believe my Westell router supports them and I don't want to have to do anything crazy with my router.
Also I am currently dual booting Ubuntu Linux alongside Windows XP, and I don't have XP set up because I want to install Windows 7 on that partition once I can read DVDs (in the hardware forum), therefor I would really like to find a Linux program that I can use to shape my network traffic.

Without using another box as a router preferably. My Cisco Linksys router doesn't have any options for this but I heard you could possibly install some 3rd party firmware to get around that. This would be a last resort for me What I'm hoping for his some piece of software that could do this

Anyway, I have a cable connection with a modem and a D-Link wireless router. Some of the users are abusing the bandwidth, making it difficult for others to surf the net.What's the easiest way to set a bandwidth limit for each user? Also, it is possible to do it through the router as I don't want to keep my computer running the whole time?
