<P>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. <BR>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.</P></DIV>
