Measuring Bandwidth Utilization - How To?

[kholford]

I am trying to find out how to measure the utilization on a 100mb serial link between two sites that are connected with 4500 routers and 3548 switches. I can't seem to find any good documentation on the site unless I'm searching incorrectly. Thanks.

A couple of great open source packages: Cricket or MRTG.

Thanks, I did find some additional answers in the forums themselves that lead me to MRTG and PRTG. I got the info I was looking for.

Hi,

You can get the exact utilization between sites using MRTG, This will give you a detailed utilization port wise.
