Re: [cobalt-users] Bandwidth Calculations?

["Footballist " <footballist@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Does anybody know how the bandwidth is calculated?

1. I have a box that receives lots of unwanted traffic.  Basically, people
are trying to "POST" to one of my CGI scripts.  I reject most of them
by giving them httpd status "403".  I have even tried renaming the script.
 But that did not work.  For my bigger abusers, I have set rules in my
"ipchain" to drop their packets on the floor.  I am wondering if all
those "unwanted" incoming traffic is calculated by my provider?


2. I do lots of non-httpd traffic on my own (i.e. upload and download
huge files using rsync).  Does this traffic show up on my bandwidth traffic?


3. If I go fetching some pages (i.e. spider or crawlwer) using non httpd
means, do these traffics affect my bandwidth charges?
