Pious? I can't figure out the P though.

Thanks Griff - now I know. I won't ever remember that but at least I know right now...

I use a Pace 5268AC router at home. It has 3 devices connected via Ethernet, and a host of other devices connected via Wi-Fi. I want to be able to see the upload/download usage of each device (I suspect the latest device to join the network is hogging more than its share). I've gone through most of the router's obvious settings but have come up completely empty. Does what I seek even exist, whether in the (specific) router itself or some other software solution?
Thanks.
[/edit]
I asked my ISP about the router specifics and they pointed me to a "traffic" page but it showed: 1) measurements in packets, and 2) all Wi-Fi traffic combined rather than per IP address.

Have a look at Wireshark promiscuous mode. You should be able to get a handle on the wifi traffic at least.

Yea, and that name's annoying, too -- I can't off-hand think of another product with an inappropriate plural name.

I was just reading an excerpt from :
Patterns, Principles, and Practices of Domain-Driven Design: Scott Millett, Nick Tune: 0787721845461: Amazon.com: Books[^]
Book Quote: Selling DDD
DDD is not a silver bullet, and it shouldn’t be sold as one. In the same way that following an agile methodology won’t solve all of your problems, neither will DDD; however, it is a powerful and extremely effective philosophy when used in the correct circumstances, such as these:
+ You have a skilled, motivated, and passionate team that is eager to learn.
+ You have a nontrivial problem domain that is important to your business.
+ You have access to domain experts who are aligned to the vision of the project.
+ You are following an iterative development methodology.
Without these key ingredients, applying the principles and practices of DDD will overcomplicate your development effort rather than simplify it. However, if your particular circumstances meet the preceding list, then applying the principles and practices of DDD can greatly increase the value of your development effort.
Uh, have you ever had the alignment of all four of those circumstances on any project ever? 
Requirement #3 from the list is especially under scrutiny here. 
Maybe DDD is only for hypothetical situations like Spherical cows (Wikipedia).[^]

Yes. Specifically related to automating some of the design aspects of communication satellites. We had the skilled team, it was a non-trivial problem, we had the domain experts, and yeah we were following a "take small steps and vet each iteration" development methodology.
It's the 5th element that was missing. Manager vision. The VP who had the vision retired, was replaced by a couple of total a******s from, of all things, the automotive industry (who was the jack*** who thought they ought to be hired?) and they did NOT have the vision.

Oh, no Product Owner[^]? Very bad indeed. Can't even get to the other four items without that driving force really.
That's a good one to add to the list of items required. And pushes the Spherical Cow further out of our reach.

A good team only needs a manager to help clear the way for the team to do a good job.
A good manager only clears the way for his team(s) to do a good job.
Find out what's not working, and see if there's a way to fix it if it's not.

I suspect that point three means, "you must hire a consultant who understands DDD... and I'm the only one."

Sure.
Only recently, I contracted to a place that worked on weather systems for airports -- i.e. we were working on getting planes off the ground and on the ground safely, with the knowledge that if we screwed it up, people could die.
I can say, in all honesty, that I have never worked with a more dedicated team of skilled, knowledgeable people, who did an absolutely fantastic, professional job using the agile methodology, which, to be honest, didn't count for a damn, in our minds -- any other methodology would have worked as well.
Maybe it makes a difference if what you do will make more money for some unidentified bunch of shareholders, rather than make sure that children see their parents again, but the shareholders made more money, too.
So it was why we were doing what we were doing doing that counted, not any silly flavour-of-the-month way of doing it.
If you don't believe in what you're doing, look for another job, not another way of working.
