Oh, and if your question was simply how to determine the network
utilization from the output of show interface, look for the load number.
The load number tells you the utilization as a fraction of 255. (255/255 is
a completely saturated network.) The utilization is calculated as an
exponential average over five minutes. Don't ask me why they couldn't make
it more user-friendly!? &;-)
It's hard to tell if questions require a simple answer or complicated
answer, but this is the simple answer. If you're looking for more, just let
us know.
