Counting usage

Jan 09, 2011 0 Replies

I have an 871W router.



Government has approved a scheme where the local imcumbents get to dicate rates and download limits on their competitors.



This is a PPPoE service.



So I want to be monitoring my usage to ensure I don't go over those limits (after which punitive pricing kicks in).


I have the following setup:



dialer 1 -> virtual Access 1 -> Fast Ethernet 4



[ethernet] [FA 0/20 - 2924switch - FA 0/23] [ethernet] [adsl modem]


At the switch, and the router's ethernet port level, is it correct to state that the byte counts on FA interfaces includes the 18 bytes of ethernet packet header ?



For the dialer 1 and virtual access interfaces, what do the byte counts represent ? Do they include the PPPoE header ?
