RE: SNMP "Accounting" Software
It uses the 2nd (monthly) method you describe and gives you a 95th percentile number for both inbound and outbound. You can then use both or one of them. Also, as I mentioned, you can write your own reports using anything that can query MySQL. I've done Crystal Reports and some C# .Net reporting off of RTG data with great success.

Does anybody know, which 95%ile is implemented? I know at least about 6 95%ile favors around. Does anybody know, which of them are mostly used? the two variants, I have in mind are daily 95%ile ( drop the max 5% samples per day for each direction, average on the end of the month for each direction and use the higher value then ) and a monthly 95%ile ( drop the max 5% samples over all samples over the month for both directions, use the higher value then ) cheers Martin

Re: SNMP "Accounting" Software
Most people who need this have written custom apps to do so -- myself included. There is nothing off the shelf that I cound find that fits the true need.

RE: SNMP "Accounting" Software
Cacti does the job graphically extremely well (best rrd front-end ever IMO), but it has no actual reporting tools and it's all rrd based so not extremely handy for long-term accounting and historical data. The 95% and accumulated datatraffic ar generated by the interface, not stored in the actual rra's itself. In terms of reporting there's nothing there really, it's just poll -> store in rra -> graph Erik On Tue, 2005-10-11 at 09:32 -0700, McNamara, Colin wrote: > I would recommend using Cacti for interface speed monitoring. > > It is available at www.cacti.net > > > > --Colin > > > > > __ > > > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf > Of Drew Weaver > Sent: Tuesday, October 11, 2005 9:21 AM > To: nanog@merit.edu > Subject: SNMP "Accounting" Software > > > > > We need some fairly complex SNMP accounting software (data > center) style stuff that can monitor cisco equipment for bandwidth > utilization and generate reports based on 95th percentile and also > perhaps even their actual bandwidth usage (how many gigs of transfer > they use per month, day, week.. etc) Does anyone know of anything good > that does anything like this?

I would recommend using Cacti for interface speed monitoring.
