Does anyone know of a good tool in unix (linux) to monitor bandwidth on a interface that is a alias hence eth0:1 I would like to track bandwidth per alias for my clients.

Hi dmistry,

First of all eth0:1 != per client. It means per IP address. If you're in the business of giving each of your clients IP addresses you will be able to track their usage with iptables.

Try http://freshmeat.net/projects/ip_accountant/?topic_id=245%2C152%2C861

One of my clients has asked me to look at making a more advanced version of it for webhosts (tracking usage over, day, month, year and keeping the history etc.). If/When it is produced I'll post something in the appropriate forums. Until then, try modifying ip accountant to suit your needs.

Good luck,

Stuart
