Is there anything that can monitor your network traffic on OSX... when I search google etc.. I find loads for the windows world but nothing for the mac.

Is there any utility which can help me measure my usage? I have a wired/wireless LAN, but only one connection outside is through the DSL router (D-Link G604T).

Please can someone help me monitor the throughput of my connection to the internet.

Thanks
Darren

I have seen a couple that let you monitor your airport usage to your router, or your hardwired usage to your router... but cant find anything that monitors what you router to the outside world is using.

Reason is I have more than one Mac (and/or PC) Connected to the internet wirelessly to the router and want to manage traffic overall and NOT just traffic coming to my mac!

This one looks good for the PC... but cant find anything like that for the mac!

Infact it doesnt have to go that indepth just needs to show me my router to internet usage rather than the ones I can find that only show my mac to the router usage!

Thanks
