Traffic Analysis using MRTG

I have just finished configuring MRTG - the multirouter traffic grapher. It is running on Fedora Core 5 and it is producing very beautiful graphs on how our network(The Polytechnic campus) utilizes the 128/64 kbps download/upload bandwidth capacity. It is very clear that the 128 kbps download capacity is not enough. The realtime graphs can be accessed at this link:

This link is now dead. Check out the MRTG homepage at http://www.mrtg.org/

The Short Poem ...

I will remember this day for this short poem somebody sent me:

The power of the Lord keeps them shining and flowing,
Keep your faith in the Lord,
He will keep you shining and flowing.
