Monitor network activity

[Raymond Mouthaan]

Hello,

I want to build an application to monitor my network activity. In other
words: measuring upload and download traffic over my network-card. I
searched on the web, but could hardly find information about it. Of course I
could find some applications in VB which could do this, but I want to write
it my self. Those VB apps use IPHLPAPI.dll.

Is there anyone who can give info about this topic especially how to manage
this in LV.

Thanks,

Ray

I would suggest just calling the iphlpapi.dll from LabVIEW. There is no built-in "network sniffer" ability in LabVIEW. I've been taking a look at that DLL and there are quite a few functions in there! If you have a VB application to do this, and that VB application calls this DLL, then just use the functions it calls and call those from LabVIEW using the Call Library Function Node.
