Bandwidth monitoring with iptables - Linux has a number of useful bandwidth monitoring and management programs. A quick search on Freshmeat.net for bandwidth returns a number of applications. However, if all you need is a basic overview of your total bandwidth usage, iptables is all you really need -- and it's already installed if you're using a Linux distribution based on the 2.4.x or 2.6.x kernels.

IPTables can monitor your bandwidth

That's the 1st time I've been realized that I can monitor my bandwidth using IPTables

I was using iptables to set up a firewall but recently I can use iptables for monitoring packets and byte counter process by creating a number of "pass-through rules" in the firewall.
