Monitor bandwidth of Zyxel C3000Z broadband modem, E.g. from CenturyLink
Collecting data requires the requests
module.
Tested on Ubuntu Linux 18.04
Copy the config.ini-example
file to $HOME/.config/monitor_bw/config.init
Change the admin-password
there to the password on your modem.
If necessary, administer it by hand by logging in to the modem via the web at
http://192.168.0.1/
to set up your admin password and understand some of the data pulled here, etc.
Then run
./monitor_bw.py >> monitor.csv &
It will collect data every few seconds (as determined by the sleep() call) into a csv file.
After gathering some data, you can run the included Jupyter notebook to play with it.
