Bandwidthd packages

Installing and Using OpenWrt
1

OpenWrt 24.10.5 is being used and is operating stably.
According to the Bandwidth Monitoring Guide - https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/services/network_monitoring/bwmon,
it appears to support Bandwidthd.
However, after running opkg update, attempting to install bandwidthd results in the error:
Unknown package ‘bandwidthd’.
Is Bandwidthd unavailable on OpenWrt?

This was removed prior to 24.10 because it was not being maintained.

I still build it for my own use, so that’s your only option.

Thanks for your rapid reply.

Then in order to use Bandwidthd, I will downgrade to 23.05,6.

I tried using the LuCi interface with both 23.05.6 and 23.05.0, but Bandwidthd was not found.
Furthermore, after downgrading to 22.03.7, I confirmed that Bandwidthd was found and functioning.

Thanks for your information.

You are indeed correct, my apologies. It was removed on this commit in 2023: https://github.com/openwrt/packages/pull/22008
