Development of Internet Traffic Logger Access Point Based on Raspberry Pi 3B+

Hai computer law enacted in 2017 required Internet users to keep the Internet log file for 90 days as the minimum duration time threshold. However, the price of computer traffic loggers was high which was difficult for home users can reach. In this research, we developed the low-cost access point for home users based on the Raspberry Pi module to support the law. The developed access point had additional functions to keep the log file into both internal storage and the cloud server. The proposed access point can present its own environmental parameters, namely, the number of current users, CPU load, via social network services. Besides, our proposed access point detected the header of every passthrough IP packets and efficiently collected arrived time, source and destination MAC address, packet length, source and destination IP address, and protocol types. The efficiency of the proposed access point in the perspective of coverage and throughput were evaluated and presented compared to t
