<br>
Well as you know I send an e-mail to this list whenever I'm
kind of
stumped. I have an OpenWRT based Linux system with a 3G phone
interface. Due to the marketecture of 3G data plans, I need
to try to
make sure this device does not exceed its monthly bandwidth
allotment
per our data plan, so we don't get a $60,000 bill, or
something. What
I was thinking was, since we are allowed 5GB in a month, that
I would
figure out the total bandwidth used in the last 3 weeks, and
if the
total bandwidth was 3/4 * 5GB then I would start throttling
down the
available bandwidth on the interface using tc and traffic
shaping.<br>
<br>
This seems like it should not be too hard to do.<br>

Just an off the wall thought. Does your provider keep a running
total of your usage during a billing period? If so, it seems that
you could make a cron job to do the searching, leaving you to script
the local stuff. BTW, I just checked and Verizon Wireless keeps a
running total of my/our usage to the nearest kB.<br>
