Basics
- 2014/03 => The old bandwidth reporting script has been updated with the Perl programming language and should now do a better job at keeping up with nwtel's new and improved internet packages.
- The bandwidth report, as installed on a nwtel-connected firewall, will compile a report and send it every night at midnight
- It is important to note that Accounted data can skew into inaccuracy for a good number of reasons
- It is a good tool to use to identify abusers and runaway connections
- It will almost never be as accurate as the Raw data count, and if the Accounted data is more than the Raw, something is probably wrong.
- When you start using this report, the initial counts will be wrong, how wrong is pretty random, depending on the existing stats on your firewall
- Daily counts should start being accurate for the 2nd report
- MTD (Month to Date) counts will start being accurate at the beginning of the next month
