Hello Petric, |
| 10 |

YES there is a wonderful tool to statistically track your network |
| 12 |
connections and present substantiating evidence to your carrier |
| 13 |
to support your Service Level Agreement. Briefly reading up on |
| 14 |
RFC 2544, it's all about data collection, monitoring and presenting |
| 15 |
SLA reports. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
First, there is a quick, minimal tool, call bm (bandwidth monitor) for |
| 18 |
mere instantaneous (concurrent) viewing. CBM Color Bandwidth Monitor |
| 19 |
is new to the portage tree, so you much "sync" to install that |
| 20 |
version. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The comprehensive tool is JFFNMS, also in portage, which is |
| 24 |
backed nicely by either mysql or postgresql: |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
"Configurable per Circuit SLA’s (with RPN logic)" |
