Have you looked at MRTG? http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/
Also Etherape and NTOP work nicely for traffic monitoring. http://etherape.sourceforge.net/ http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html Trevor Cushen Sysnet Ltd www.sysnet.ie Tel: +353 1 2983000 Fax: +353 1 2960499 -----Original Message----- From: swin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 March 2003 05:47 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Any good method to check network overload?

What we want is an reliable way to check overload ,and we especially accentuate it should be reliable,this method sounds a lttle rough,indeed it can check if system is overload,but is it very reliable for automatic check?and we hope to install the check program on the server or router itself,if so ,is it different?
