  • 1.  How to know the bandwidth utilized by a VPN tunnel

    Posted 12-14-2015 06:41

    Hi All,

     

    I've few VPN tunnels i i'm trying to limit the bandwidth based on the average utilization of the tunnels.

    How can i know the utilization of a VPN tunnel ? I've an ISP link of 10Mbps i would like to put bandwidth limits on the tunnels.

     

    Thanks for any inputs.

     

    Regards,

    Chandu

    I'm affraid there is no way to do that on SRX .
    Also , you need to know that over the VPN you will get the 1/4th of the actual bandwidth speed over the VPN based on the model and VPN throughput as well as link speed.

    I think you might want to install PRTG or MRTG or Solarwind .. and try to monitor the st interface . But then you'll need to configure the interface speed . for example:

    I've zabbix monitoringn tool which works on SNMP so i think if my device can send snmp info for 'st' nterfaces then i can get the traffic stats.

     

    But i couldn't see an option to set speed on the st interfaces, any idea ? Or am i travelling in the wrong direction?

    Hi,

     

    Since there is no need to monitor st interface bandwidth, Since its not a physical interface, there is no option to setup st interface speed .
    In my case I set 100 Mbps in the solarwind just to emulate the speed relatively .
    AFAIK , over VPN you'll get 1/4 of the actual speed .
