Hi Rob, Micromuse's Netcool/USM (Usage Service Monitors) will allow you to monitor traffic on a per user or per port (type) basis. The USMs allow you to monitor and generate notifications for defined thresholds and usage patterns. Here is a URL to a more complete spec sheet: http://www.micromuse.com/downloads/pdf_lit/USMs.pdf Note: I work for Micromuse as a systems engineer, managing the integration of our products at our customers' facilities. -Jim P. > -----Original Message----- > From: owner- [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of > Rob Mitzel > Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 2:54 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: Traffic Threshold monitoring? > > > > Hi everyone, > > Quick question.
