Not this old one again.... First, are you certain that your Nortel1600 actually supports this? The functionality you are talking about is usually called something like an 'RMAN probe' as it is analysing the content of the data packets as they go through. If you have a device which can provide these numbers, MRTG can graph them. However, almost all switches/routers cannot provide this information. MRTG is not a data analyser, it is a graphing tool. If you're really up on coding, you might be able to install a Linux box with tcpdump on a spanning port on the switch and process the output into a form compatible with sending to MRTG (basically, build your own RMAN probe) but its not a simple procedure and not one I can explain to you. To summarise - in almost all cases, this is not possible, because your switch does not provide the necessary counts. If you want to do this, get a data analyser, such as an RMAN probe, and configure MRTG to get the counts from this.
