RE: Monitoring the network: Routers

["Hunt, Jim" <Jim.Hunt () nwsc k12 in us>]

MRTG is right on target and can run on Windows as well as almost every
other OS.  I have specifically written a beginners guide to MRTG on
Windows entitled MRTG for Dummies - http://www.netmon.org

If you follow the install guide, download Firedeamon (to make it run as
a
service), and download mrtgindex page of the MRTG demo site and edit
it.. it
works great!

Take a look at MRTG (multi-router traffic grapher). I don't think it is
easy
to set up, however I can't say from experience as I've never used it.
