How To Monitor Traffic Bandwidth With Mikrotik

This is an activity to monitor the traffic which is done by the user in the use of a connection. Incidentally yesterday there was one friend who asked how to see / monitoring users who are using excessive bandwidth on the office by using mikrotik?

By using Mikrotik, we can monitor the flow of packets based on protocol type, source address, destination address and port types. With this facility has been provided at Packet System, when we install RouterOS, it is easier for us in the administration of the router, out of this facility, we can tell whether the data flow in the machine we're normal or not. Monitor the occurrence of flooding, monitor malware activities and so on.

Using it is fairly easy, usually to be more comfortable in Monitoring, please enabled via Winbox, to get into the Router. More details can be seen the picture below.

Facilities Torch can be used with Winbox the Tools menu - Torch. Please Click the Torch, the Torch will be shown a window

Or Can also via IP - ARP. In the ARP List window, please chosen IP address, MAC address will be in the Monitor. Right-click to enter the Torch.

Note, the items contained in these windows Torch, the manual clearly stated above have been given information on these items. Click the Start button to activate this Torch. Now we can monitor the flow of packets on Router machine. If there are any suspicious traffic please take further action.

In the list above, I monitor the flow of traffic from the IP Address (Src Address) 192.168.0.13 through LAN Interface. If you notice, there is a port on the Src port 514 (syslog) protocol type UDP (17) to get IP Address (Dst Address) 192.168.0.14, and indeed I'm running Syslog Daemon on Windows XP PC Remote Mikrotik router to store logs, on the PC that has the IP address 192.168.0.13, with a router that has an IP address remotenya 192.168.0.14, active in the port 514 (UDP). We can choose the source address (Src Address) to the Client will we monitor, choose the port, destination address, and Protocols.
