Probably what you really want to do is monitor your internet router directly, and graph data from there. Cricket, cricket.sourceforge.net, requires RRDTool, which is also in ports. Hope that helps. -Bob Myers -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of mark_wright@datacard.com Sent: Wednesday, December 20, 2000 2:29 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: How do I measure network load Is there a utility I can use to determine how congested our internet connection is? I've got a FreeBSD box that's serving as a NAT gateway for our LAN and I'd like to know how much we are utilizing our T1. Ideal would be something like uptime - average load over the last 1, 5 and 15 minutes. Mark.
