monitoring specific individual queues - CRICKET SUGGESTION

[James Noble]

Thanks for the info.  I have been playing with
cricket, and maybe it is because I am a dumb newbie
who knows nothing, but I am not seeing functionality
for the viewing of traffic on specific protocols...

Should I be using a different frontend for RRDTool, or
am I just making a dumb newbie goof/oversight?

thanks in advance...
