Comment MTRG, Cricket, Pathrate, etc. (Score 1) 488
What's a user to choose? Lots of good tools have been mentioned, but to any of them realy fit?
MTRG assumes you have routers that speak snmp, but what if you're using non snmp hardware. (Like a Linux box doing true NAT) The site and FAQ's aren't very helpful in that case.
Cricket looks good, but have you tried to install the thing?
Pathrate measures capacity, which _might_ be useful, but only if you control a server on the other side of the link.
What's a small network administrator to do? What can you run on a 'nix box to track network throughput?
Thanks in advance.
