3704.0. "IP circuit statistics help" by HANNAH::B_COBB () Tue Sep 08 1992 15:27

    Has anyone tried using the Performance Analyzer to gather IP circuit
    statistics?  Basically I have a router that connects to a 56k wire
    out of the building.  I want to monitor the usage.  The router runs
    Ultrix 3.2 and it's snmp agent gives minimal information.  I have
    looked at trying to plot the "received octet rate" and the "transmit
    octet rate" to get a picture of the thruput.  Is this a good method?
    Is anyone already doing some of this stuff?  Any suggestions on what
    statistics to monitor to get an accurate number of how much the wire
    is being eaten?  The config is below:
    
    
      Site1				  Site2
    |-------|				|-------|
    |	    |   	  56k	        |       |
    |       |----------//---------------|	|	routers run Ultrix
    |	    |				|	|	3.2 
    |-------|				|-------|  	
        |				    |
        |		      		    |

    	Thanks for any suggestions.

    Is anyone using the PA for ANY IP sttaistics?

Hello,

>    Is anyone using the PA for ANY IP sttaistics?

Yes, we are using PA to get statistics. We are able to get stats going forward
or backward in time (using RECORDed data) on Wellfleet routers. Is the router
you describe built by NSL? If so, there SNMP support is not rich enough with
MIB II attributes for computations with the PA (that's what it appeared like
the last time I looked anyway).

best regards,
