Many thanks for your response.

What we need to generate is a traffic graph for each IP that we serve i.e. At 
4.20.00pm some IP was using 7Mbps, at 4.20.15pm it was using 5.2Mbps, at 
4.20.30 it was using 6.3Mbps and so on.

We need this data is used to understand how sites (which run on IPs) behave and 
also to provision overall bandwidth and pass bandwidth costs to clients.

Is this possible and for example, is anyone doing 95th percentile billing using 
a Vyatta router?

Best, Dominic

You can collect SNMP interface performance data anywhere along the path to the 
outside world, not just the router.  There's quite a bit of flexibility.

Examples:
The Web Server itself
Load Balancer, if you have a bunch of web servers
Ethernet Switch(s)
Router
Etc.

Subject: [Vyatta-users] Want to use Vyatta for our main BGP router - butwhat 
about traffic tracking?

Hello all,

My company is very keen to try a Vyatta solution, as we are about to move our 
hosting rack to a BGP solution and a 7204VXR with 1GB seems inordinately 
expensive!!

But... we need to be able to monitor and track bandwidth to each individual IP 
address that we serve.

This is a crucial requirement, as it is for many people involved in Web 
hosting. 

At the moment we just use Netflow exports from our Cisco router in conjunction 
with some tracking software... I know that Vyatta doesn't support Neflow, but 
somebody indicated on this list that you can get at these stats using SNMP.

Is this really the case? Can you get at traffic flows for individual IPs that 
are being served through the router?

-- I was under the impression SNMP was just of use for monitoring the status of 
a particular device / interface etc??

Many thanks for any advice you can give. 

Best, Dominic
