Hi,
Thanks for the responses.
Most people suggested mrtg - which I was already using. I was suggested orca
-
which is better than mrtg for system stats.
But orca and mrtg are really only good for trends - not benchmarking.
I was suggested "You can reference some tools offer from www.infovista.com"
which
looked like a commercial version of mrtg
The other option suggested was snoop and netstat - which I knew about and
will take
a bit of work to get some data.
The only other suggestion was bing a point to point bandwidth measurement
tool - which
is kind of what I wanted, but it looks pretty old.
Thanks for the replies
Geoff
