When using a GSM router, often the connection is capped to a monthly total traffic, depending on the specific plan available on the SIM card. This application logs in to the router's web interface, retrieves the current total traffic and prints it to the console, or optionally stores it in a InfluxDB database. It also clears the total traffic on the router.

Technology
This application is written in [Rust], a type-safe system language, and uses [Stanley] database to store data.
Installation
This application can be installed from source, provided the Rust toolchain is installed, by running the command:
cargo install --path .Otherwise, precompiled binaries could be available in the repository (check the tags section).
Usage
This application is made of a single command-line executable e5172as22-traffic-reader which can be run as follows.
The router password must be encoded according to the router configuration. I have not been able to figure out what hashing and encoding algorithm is was used, but the encoded password can be obtained using a network analyser and manually log on to the router.
