Bandwidth utilization (snmp / cisco router)

[Tedman Eng]

Look into using apan.
http://apan.sourceforge.net

The net-usage example can be extended with cisco's formula.  HP Openview
also gives a similar formula to calculate bandwidth (as a percentage of the
interface's max rate).  The apan plugins are written in shell script, so
should be easy to modify.  If it works well, maybe contribute the changes
back to the apan project :)

Cheers
