Tivoli, Openview, Unicenter, ipmonitor, mrtg, nagios?
There are many network monitoring options but each option has its pitfalls. I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that any software Computer Associates publishes is designed for the criminally insane. However, there 'has' to be something that offers more visibility into a major WAN than MRTG/RRDTOOL.
Intermapper http://www.intermapper.com You can create charts showing realtime bandwith usage on each of your routers. I also use it to check bandwidth on my web servers. With a glance, you can tell everything is "OK", "abnormal", etc. No IDS, but it is great as a enhancement/replacement for mrtg/rrdtool/nagios.

And even if there were, waxed paper is no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
