Router Monthly Bandwidth Projections
As a user I would like to know:
- Roughly how much bandwidth the router is consuming each day.
- Roughly how much bandwidth the router will consume by 11:59:59 of the last day of the month.
The Router should provide a screen that tells the user the "Avg Daily Bandwidth Usage". This is basically [Total Lifetime Data Transferred] / [Total # of Hours the Router has been Up]
. This value can be expressed in terms of data sent and received eg: Avg Daily Bandwidth Usage: 20G/15G
tells the user that she is roughly sending 20gb of data each day and receiving 15gb of data each day.
The Router should also tell the user how much she will use this month. This gives the user an idea of what her monthly bandwidth usage will be for the current month eg: Projected Bandwidth Usage for April 2022: 600G/450G
. This tells the user that by the end of the month, she will probably consume about half a terabyte of data for the month. If this is too much because of monthly bandwidth caps the user could reduce her bandwidth limits.
