    I’m trying to get some cellular data usage numbers for an OCG-D. Is it possible to use the data provided by ifconfig for the ppp0 interface?

    Should this be consistent with the actual cellular data usage? This is for a device on the Verizon network.

    Hi Andy,

    I think that statistic is only good with that connected call. If the call is disconnected, the statistic will be reset. So, you need some way to accommodate this situation.

    Thanks Bryan, I’ll look into it a little more and let you know if I have any other questions.

    Bryan,

    I’m trying to estimate actual cellular data usage and using the ifconfig value to do this. Do you know if this value should coincide with actual data usage that Verizon sees?

    Andy,

    I am not sure. You will need to test it and compare it to your monthly bills. Also, the cellular modem may get disconnected/reconnected from/to the tower and in this case, the ifconfig value will get reset back to 0.

    Regards,
