Is it possible to monitor traffic through the local router on a 10/100 ethernet network? For example, the Netgear wrt614v5 doing service between my home's LAN and the DSL modem; is there a way to monitor what amount of throughput is going on at each LAN port? No fine detail, just quantity of bits/s, for example.

on a V6 box, router status page, then show statistics.
On this v5 unit there is such a page. But I'm not sure what the stats mean...
"WAN" row has columns titled "Tx B/s" and "Rx B/s" "LAN" row has same columns.
These statistics are Rx and Tx with respect to the box? ie, WAN Tx means bytes transmitted to remote server(s), and LAN Tx means bytes transmitted to the LAN?
Thanks,
you could always download the manual..
Rx is recieve - ie inbound traffic into the box. B/s seems to be bits / sec
LAN means from the integrated LAN switch (ie doenst include "stuff" between a couple of local PCs if you have more than 1) WAN means the WAN Ethernet port.
