Monitoring Internet Traffic
-
I was looking for an application that will monitor how much traffic I send and receive via the internet only. Most of the programs I looked at had far more features than I need (though NetLimiter was very nice). I thought this might be a good opportunity to try writing my own. However I am not really sure where to start. What classes would let me look at the internet traffic and record the size of each inbound/outbound packet? I have heard mention of something called winPcap, but not really sure how to use it. Any pointers appreciated...
