So, the real answer to that question requires a tap and an analyzer (Wireshark or another "sniffer" type product). Filters must be applied and foundation concepts like the TCP three-way handshake must be understood.

Oh - and you need to get permission from CCP as this can fall under the Computer Misuse Act if you don't.

Or else - as you say, you can use the in-game key combinations.

I am aware of my own ignorance and have checked my emotional quotient - thanks for asking

Why would CCP care about a British computer law?

when my internet was down (100Mb D \ 2.5 Mb U) I used my cell phone to connect instead and eve worked perfectly. On the other hand my cell internet package gets up to 15Mb D speeds.

Military experts put the bandwidth usage at over 9000.

I don't judge people by their race, religion, color, size, age, gender, or ethnicity. I judge them by their grammar, spelling, syntax, punctuation, clarity of expression, and logical consistency.

I'm no Blokeland law expert, but you only need to see what's coming into and out of your computer on a per-packet level, not inspecting the contents of those packets, which are crypted anyway. All you need to do is set Wireshark to filter on stuff coming from and going to CCP's IPs. From a networking POV, this is Public (with a capital P) information.

Why would a law affect you in monitoring your own network traffic in your home network?


On the other hand you are propably right, its a british law where they don't even have freedom of the press...Roll

I wanted to know why the use of a packet sniffer would be needed to calculate the amount of bandwidth used by eve online.

I've played EVE while tethered to my mobile phone.

Gameplay requires very little traffic. However updates are a problem. I avoided updates by checking the server version before launching, and if there was an update, downloading the full client via an alternate network.

All packages must pay extra for ESPN, especially if you dont get it

Allright, im abroad and right now im playing on 3G connection and on very low signal... it is very good so far.

you can even play on 2g but with larger lag and everything is slower than usual.. but still playable- . and it is suitable for station trading without any problems

but on 3g you can play without any limitation....

according bandwidth use... 2 hours of play and only 20 mb used...

nice job CCP.. Keep it up this way Blink
