I see a reference in the response to RTG. RTG's claim to fame looks like speed. In comparison to RRDTOOL-based applications, RTG stores raw values rather than cooked averages, allowing for a great deal more flexibility in analysis. And you aren't limited to a temporally fixed window of

In addition to the traditional backhoe threat, as the price of copper increased so has the threat of people stealing telephone trunk cables containing copper wire. Indeed. Here's a story from five years back: [http://www.berkeley.edu/news/berkeleyan/2001/03/02_fiber.html} Fiber optic cut
