How to measure local traffic?

[Jurras]

Hi, what's the best way to measure local traffic? Would like to see whether it's worth the effort of splitting my traffic.

Sit on the side of your local road with a counter perhaps? You may need to get council approval to split the traffic.

On topic : I have no idea.

Easiest would probably be to just do it

Routing it is easy, monitoring it is harder.

Hmm, here's an idea. Maybe use RouteSentry to split the traffic between... wait for it... my current ISP and my current ISP - then I can probably measure how much flows through each lane? Haven't used RouteSentry before nor have I any idea whether this will work... worth a shot though! Might try it out some time next week and let you all know. In the mean time, any other (preferrably broadband-related ) ideas?
