Comment 1 for bug 1179650

I use the TCP Monitor to monitor different IO depending processes, like:
- sabnzbd
- samba shares
- ftp servers

sometimes these services also use network IO when sabnzbd is not downloading, samba shares are not used. Just small amount of network traffic keeps powernap from going to sleep.

I would really like an option to define a minimal byte threshold, before activity on the network is really treated as traffic (and powernap should not put the computer into a powernap).

Maybe it is possible to add a parameter to the definition of monitored processed that can define this threshold. When threshold is not given, the default method is used. Every change in IO traffic, will stop powernap from sleeping.

I think Plex problem could also be addressed with this.

PS: I could try to code this my self. Have programming skills (only not in python), but would like to contribute if this feature request is honored
