Rich,

Something I mentioned in the past but would just also say at this point. Sometimes there are ifIndex changes, which cause a traffic stream being measured to vanish off to some other ifIndex value. Restoring this is tedious at present. It would be handy if one could tie the chart to something other than ifIndex.

In addition, these changes cause data loss because I can't relate the two ifIndex values together. Now, such changes occur less frequently than they used to, but there is a situation where such a change can occur legitimately. This is when we upgrade a customer's access speed, so they might move from say an OC3 to an OC12. It's certainly useful then to be able to relate traffic before and after. What we are in fact charting is "Customer X's Traffic", not "Traffic on interface #X". So it would be nice to be able to tie two traffic streams together, somehow.
