I would recommend using Cacti for interface speed monitoring.
It is available at www.cacti.net <http://www.cacti.net/>=20

Subject: SNMP "Accounting" Software
=20
We need some fairly complex SNMP accounting software (data
center) style stuff that can monitor cisco equipment for bandwidth
utilization and generate reports based on 95th percentile and also
perhaps even their actual bandwidth usage (how many gigs of transfer
they use per month, day, week.. etc) Does anyone know of anything good
that does anything like this? It needs to be reliable? Can be open
source, we're using MRTG to track utilization but we need something that
really handles "accounting" for us.

Thanks,
-Drew
