Title: RE: Off the topic:How to measure on Internet (link) speed

Mrtg on a Linux or Unix box: http://ee-staff.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/mrtg.html.  Its simple and its free (well, your supposed to send a post card to the author if you like it).  Have it measure the bandwidth of the ISP line.  If you write a small hook to extract stats from the firewall in real time you can also get it to plot various things on the firewall, like simultanous connections, cpu utilization, I/O utilization.

Greetings
     We have noticed that our T1 has slowed down, and
understandably all users have complained about slow
internet access.
Is there a network tool
a)that would help us determine the throughput that we
are getting.
b)or the location of the bottleneck.
Ours is a very simple configuration.
Internet-->Cisco 7200 (BGP)-->FW-->RSM-->Internal LAN
Our ISP says everything is fine at his end. Thx.
Ragu
