There are some free ones, but if you are looking for features and slick
setup, interfaces, charts, etc. you can go cheap with SolarWinds.  
We use it and it works great.  A standalone license to monitor unlimited
devices is about $995.
However, it doesn't report traffic type that I am aware of.

Subject: Monitoring the network: Routers


I am interesting in getting some ideas as to which packages are out
there and recommended to monitor a router.

Like the following stats:(in real-time)

CPU Utilization
Bandwidth Utilization
Packet Count
Packets in Error 
Type of Traffic 

It would have to be able to work with:
1> Intel Express Routers(frame relay) ie 9515
2> Netopia/Caymen Routers(dsl/sdsl/idsl) ie r3100
3> Cisco Routers. ie2600

Considering Points:
1>Ease of setup
2>Report capability
3>Functionality / Compatibility


I am looking for a Windows based product, but open to other solutions as
well.

Thanks in advance,

Nick
