[lug] Measuring bandwidth

[DeVerter at robinsonmechanical.com]

I knew there had to be a Python way to do it.  I have already written a
Python version of Rob's response.  I'll start messing with your idea
tonight.

Thanks all,

You can set up SNMP on the Cisco, and set up MRTG to pull the usage data.
It's then fairly easy to process that data into a monthly usage level.  I
have a Python program that will do exactly that based on the MRTG log file.
Or, you can just eye-ball the MRTG stats.
