Re: [Nagios-devel] monitor bandwidth

[Guest]

That is a tricky question, without knowing many details.  I can tell you one trick I use.  My PIX captures an octect count.  I sample the number a few times using SNMP, along with with timestamp of the sampling.  Subtract the first number from the second to get a count (convert to kilobits or whatever) and divide by the time interval.  You could also try sending a fixed size package across the interface and time how long it takes.  Be aware of how the traffic travels, because you will be counting more than just the interface.
