The mouse was quicker than the brain, and a draft email was sent
prematurely.

I would actually like to see these items, but I meant to explain them:

1. Alternate Latency -- NetHealth has a very cool feature where you can
measure the latency between router B and C, even though you are connected to
router A (which connects to B). I believe it does this with a SNMP write
message to router B, telling it to ping router C and report back the
latency. In our environment, that would be *very* useful.

2. Event correlation -- I imagine most folks already know what this is...

3. Interface Descriptions -- More than "FastEthernet0/0". Cisco routers
allow one to set a description on an interface, which is displayed in the
running configuration and via SNMP:

ifMIB.ifMIBObjects.ifXTable.ifXEntry.ifAlias.8 = *** VAX Subnet ***
ifMIB.ifMIBObjects.ifXTable.ifXEntry.ifAlias.9 = *** Firewall Segment ***

It would be nice if IM could also display this entry under the "Interface
Information" section of the pop up screen for a link, perhaps between
interface description and media type.
