I hope you don't mind my asking this here. I'm working in an ISP right now. We are using mrtg for each client connected to us. They can view their mrtg statistics. Their way to the internet is to us. Say a client connects to us via E1, they are guaranteed of 2.048Mbps because our uplink to the Internet is more than the total of all the clients link's bandwidth that are connected to us. Now one client wants to make sure that they will be able to reach their guaranteed bandwidth through the mrtg graphs. If we transfer huge data from their site only up to us, we can theoretically stress out their bandwidth. However, they want to try increasing their consumption and see for their self if they will reach the desired bandwidth if they are actually connecting to any site in the Internet, outside our network. Running iperf from their site to us doesn't seem to reflect to the MRTG. Any idea how to explain this to our client? Thank you very much for your help -JaY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
