[nsp] traffic monitor

[Alban Dani]

Thanks Sam,

I am using netsaint for monitoring.
I have the switches set up so that every time the ifOctet output in a
particular interface goes over a certain value, in a 6 min delta, it sends a
trap which is received by netsaint.
Netsaint then e-mails/pages me and so on.
However I am not convinced that ifOctet output is the best thing to check.
I'll be much happier if I could check the 5 min rate average instead.

Alban
