i googled something more and found this thing
BitMeter OS - Codebox Software
seems to be what i am after. simple free and with export data button, run on windows.
the only problem with a windows bridge might be output and input speeds will be aded and duplicated
NavyLCDR we talking something that 100mbits ethernet should be able to handle but to be sure the box i dig out from storage has 2 gigabit etherent adapters , i would be more afraid about the cpu not being able to handle heavy trafic if it was a router with dedicated os with heavy filtration aplied to the trafic
one thing i forget to mention , only foreign students are right now at the dorm and they all use some kind of vpn anyway so there is no much chance in mannaging that trafic other thanlimiting per client bandwidth at a router level (wchich i currently can't do because router is mannaged by the provider remotely on a wim)
problems with the bandwidth begun in december , both connection were never rock solid, but back then they start to hang up every 10 am for 30 minutes and that state deteriorated in school and dormitory at a different rates
but ever since one building got fiber optic wimpy connection instead of one from local provider (which in school work much more stable) the dormitory connection started to go crazy. We even disabled one of the school lines from that provider and moved all the bandwidth we pay for from school to add to dormitory, nothing has changed.
