AirPort Flow 1.2

AirPort Flow is a way to see all of your traffic flowing to and from your AirPort base station in graph form. The bit rates are retrieved by using SNMP (which means you must have an AirPort router that supports this and have it enabled).

The user interface for AirPort Flow nicely fits in with Mac OS X Leopard; as it was designed for Leopard. The display stays above all other windows so you can keep a check on the bit rate as you are working. AirPort Flow was recently updated to 1.2 which added the ability to check for the number of wireless clients connected.

You can download AirPort Flow from the Memention website for the lovely price of free.

(this may be a better question for asktuaw, but here it goes)

is there a way to look and see who is on my airport extreme network? a MACaddress intermittently shows up in my shares, and i think its a neighbor "sharing" my $80 a month 15/5 fiber connection... and not helping pay the bill.

Is there a way i can force disconnect if it is in fact someone? I have a WEP password, but i may bump it up to the next level and see if that works.

How long until Apple nixes the name of this app?

Does anyone know if this works with an airport express? If not, is there something similar that will?

Try MRTG. That will work with anything that supports SNMP.

Kind of - iStatMenus or MenuMeters only displays traffic for your current machine, and then only for your ethernet cable (or wireless connection)
This reports traffic directly from your router, so you can see traffic from all the machines on your network, and it doesn't include LAN transfers.

If it were more configurable, it should work with many more routers, but it seems to only work with the Airport SNMP settings, which is a shame as I've been looking for a prettier alternative to MRTG..
