One of the reasons I was looking for a flashable Linux based router was to<br>monitor bandwidth in a home network and trace the usage to individual <br>computers.<br><br>While I have not implemented any specific solution yet, mostly due to lack<br>
of time to tinker, I gathered some information here for my own reference <br>in the future.<br><br>The Gargoyle Router, which is a variant of OpenWRT, seems to be exactly<br>what I need: bandwidth monitoring and quality of service (throttling). I looked<br>
at the code and it seems to be iptables based, so could be applicable to any<br>Linux based router.<br><br>So here are the relevant links<br><br><a href="http://baheyeldin.com/bandwidth/monitoring-bandwidth-usage-individual-computers-home-network.html">http://baheyeldin.com/bandwidth/monitoring-bandwidth-usage-individual-computers-home-network.html</a><br>
