Craig, thanks for your suggestions.

Regarding the FR bandwidth, in my case the values are:
64kbps with a CIR of 16kbps.

In order to validate the ntop values, your idea to use MRTG,
or others stuff, will be one option, however I wouldn't like
to have this additional work, if possible :).

Best regards.

Rivalino.

Hi Rivalino,

It may not be the same for your telco, but many Frame Relay
links are
sold with two speeds, basically a minimum, which is generaly
what you've
ask for and pay for, and a maximum (based on the shared
bandwidth of the
circuit), they have some funky names like CIR and DIR or
something (it's
been too long, I can't remember).

So it's quite possible that you will see bursts of traffic
that go above
the contracted rate for a given link.

Onother way to check this, might be to get NTOP to get a
netflow feed
from the router at the other end, or use something like MRTG
to monitor
the interfaces and double check the traffic levels that way.
Of course,
any monitoring you do is going to increase the bandwidth
that you use :)

Hope that helps.

Later'ish
Craig
