  I don't think that the standard MIBs provide a bandwidth utilization measurement 
variable.

  See

  Which basically says you need to measure the deltas between samples of ifInOctets or 
ifOutOctets and divide by ifSpeed to figure out your utilization.

  This means you need to keep state, and the WhatsUp monitoring agents are by design 
stateless.

  You can do something like this with MRTG.  SolarWinds also has a nice network 
management suite that runs under Windows, but then if you're already running WhatsUp 
you don't want to buy another tool.
