Check NANOG website for faq.

I think its in the faq, but if not, MRTG standalone has threshold alarms

and

Cricket front end does too.

Ill check and if not add something in.

I'm looking for some sort of tool that tracks bandwidth on a switch port and when the bit rate "suddenly" changes from the baseline alerts me.

I'm playing with Team Cymru's darknet project and basically need an automated way of noting darknet traffic increase and then trigger a nagios alert.

If there isn't something like this, I'll have to write it I guess.

thanks.
