Some MIT living groups have relatively slow internet connections (usually 10/10). As do some small business, etc. It's useful to have a public display showing who is using the most bandwidth (and how much), so they can be asked to throttle their use if they are making the connection slow for everyone else. Also, just knowing that the display exists seems to make people more mindful of their bandwidth use.

Current technologies used are  argus - http://www.qosient.com/argus/ - ruby, bourne shell. Future work will include SNMP, and the code is simple enough it could be re-written entirely in ruby or python by someone clueful in under an hour (except that for python a feature - the ability to use client-side SSL certificates - may need to be added to a library first).  Also we need to use a very new/untested feature of argus for SNMP integration, so C knowledge would also be useful.

smiopp is currently set up and being quite useful at http://pika.mit.edu - the display looks like this and updates every five minutes with the average of the previous 5 minutes:
