[Tutor] Monitoring an Internet connection in Python

[Thomas Clive Richards]

Hi,

Most external DSL routers make sue of SNMP - if you know what you're looking 
for, it's trivial to write a python script that polls the router every 10 
minutes or so.

I had to do this to write my own dynamic DNS client. Unfortunately (AFAIK) 
every router model differs in the exact SNMP implementation, but I'm by no 
means a networking guru, so take this with a pinch of salt ;)

HTH!
