Hello Petric, YES there is a wonderful tool to statistically track your network connections and present substantiating evidence to your carrier to support your Service Level Agreement. Briefly reading up on RFC 2544, it's all about data collection, monitoring and presenting SLA reports. First, there is a quick, minimal tool, call bm (bandwidth monitor) for mere instantaneous (concurrent) viewing. CBM Color Bandwidth Monitor is new to the portage tree, so you much "sync" to install that version. The comprehensive tool is JFFNMS, also in portage, which is backed nicely by either mysql or postgresql: "Configurable per Circuit SLA’s (with RPN logic)" http://www.jffnms.org/features/ Installation help http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/jffnms.xml You should join/use the discussion group: [email protected] hth, James
