The Network Performance Monitor within the Engineers Edition has a big brother called Orion.
Orion: Runs as a service. Web Interface with permissions per user. SQL backend. Report feature. Get access to the underlying data for further analysis via the web. I have a copy running and watching my internet gateway traffic as well as the traffic per mail or web server. Contact me offline and I'll give anyone a quick virtual tour.

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. www.solarwinds.net Check out the Engineer's edition toolset. -Tim -----Original Message----- From: Nick Benigno [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, July 14, 2003 2:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
