router traffic monitoring tools

by johnsonm . Updated 25 years ago

Hello out there,

I am researching tools to monitor network traffic over router ports to keep track of bandwidth usage. About the best I’ve found to date in graphical form is a Perl program called Multiple Router Traffic Grapher. This works great at graphing traffic per port on a router but it doesn’t really have a function to show bandwidth details such as what percent HTTP or SMTP or even what percentage total bandwidth (56% of 1.544Mbps, etc.). Does anyone out there have any favorites that might be useful? Or can MRTG be modified to get what I’m looking for?

Any comments are appreciated.

Mike Johnson
