What type of connection is this 128k connection? Most likely this is a full duplex connection where you have 128k of bandwidth in each direction. So out of 128k inbound you are using 100k. Outbound you have another 128k but only using 40k of it.
Inbound, you are close to the link's max of 128k. I would personally consider a link upgrade, but that is outside the scope of this, i.e. budget, equipment, local loop installs, etc. Carl -----Original Message----- From: Naveen Sivenandan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 9:16 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [mrtg] Bandwidth Monitoring Total Hi,, I have a scenario wrt bandwidth monitoring and mrtg. I have the following stats represented on MRTG based on 5 minute polling. 128K Diginet Link 1 hour interval stats represent ( 100k inbound and 40k outbound ) My total demand for bandwidth should indicate 140k. Does this mean that my link is busy and would need to be upgraded. MRTG does not represent the total line utilisation as compared to say Packeteer device. Hence my question is what portion of the 128k link is busy. Is it over utilised by using 140k (100+40) or the fact that 100 is inbound and 40 is outbound, means I still have more space on the 128K pipe. Your suggestions please.
