In order to get a really good idea of what's going on at a microburst level, you would need to poll as often as it takes to fill the buffer of the port in question. This is not feasible in the general case, which is why we resort to hacks like QoS to make sure that when there is congestion, it is handled semi-sensibly.

do any router vendors provide something akin to hardware latches to keep track of highest buffer fill levels? poll as frequently/infrequently as you like... -- Aaron J. Grier | "Not your ordinary poofy goof." | agrier@poofygoof.com
