You'd have to poll every 2 seconds to avoid rolling a 32bit counter on a saturated 10Gbps link so I would say that isn't something you'd want to pursue. This is what the HC (64bit) counters were created for. Surely you don't have a piece of equipment that supports 10Gbps but not 64bit interface counters. _______________________________________________ zenoss-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.zenoss.org/mailman/listinfo/zenoss-users
