I am developing an iOS application that calculates download and download speeds using network traffic, but still I ran into the problem of calculating the bandwidth of network traffic. How can I get network traffic using Apple's open API and not a private API ?. I am currently using the code below to read and write bytes on the network:
-(NSArray *)getPassiveCounters{
NSString *name;
success = getifaddrs(&addrs) == 0;
if (success)
{
cursor = addrs;
while (cursor != NULL)
{
name=[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%s",cursor->ifa_name];
if (cursor->ifa_addr->sa_family == AF_LINK)
{
if ([name hasPrefix:@"en"])
{
networkStatisc = (const struct if_data *) cursor->ifa_data;
WiFiSent+=networkStatisc->ifi_obytes;
WiFiReceived+=networkStatisc->ifi_ibytes;
}
if ([name hasPrefix:@"pdp_ip"])
{
networkStatisc = (const struct if_data *) cursor->ifa_data;
WWANSent+=networkStatisc->ifi_obytes;
WWANReceived+=networkStatisc->ifi_ibytes;
}
}
cursor = cursor->ifa_next;
}
freeifaddrs(addrs);
}
return [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[NSNumber numberWithUnsignedLongLong:WiFiSent+WWANSent], [NSNumber numberWithUnsignedLongLong:WiFiReceived+WWANReceived], nil];
}
How can I capture and calculate the download and download speed passively?
