Currently developing a system to track usage stats on cisco interfaces in
order to bill based on usage (burstable service).
Pulling the IfOctets of total bytes, the stats seems to mysteriously reset
to 0 on occasion. No reboots, etc.. throws the count off and makes one
wonder how reliable the 'total bytes' stats are.
What is the best method of getting reliable cisco usage stats, on a 5
minute basis, over a long period. Prefer SNMP because of the low resource
overhead vs. an expect script. Unable to find a SNMP variable that shows
the 5-minute average as seen in 'sh int'.
