A few ways to do it on a Cisco: if you're up to playing with SNMP, look for a
copy of tkined, a nice SNMP (and other protocols, like RPC, etc) network
monitoring toy. Iain Lea, (yes, the guy who wrote tin), also has a nice
'router-stats' program that works with Cisco (only, unless you hack it lots)
routers. It gets the 5 min count a few times an hour and then draws up pretty
charts for it. That's on http://www.scn.de/~iain/router-stats
Of course, they only show the throughput you're USING. If you have a DS3 and
only are piping 56k through it, it's gonna look just like a 56k line... but it
lets you see (realtime for tkined, summarized for router-stats) what you're
pushing through the pipe so at least you know when you're hitting your
capacity.
I don't have a URL for tkined, but you should be able to hit altavista or lycos
or whatever for it... it's a unique enough string. :)
