[mrtg] Re: Burst traffic

[Alejandro Cabrera Obed]

Thanks Paul,

Sorry but I can show you the grapfic because it was last week and there's no
a graphic log. The CIR that my ISP guarantees to me is 128 Kbps.
My Max speed is 193 KBps, and the people from my ISP now says that this
behavior is caused for the ATM switches from the backbone, they are very
fast and sometimes they make traffic increase.....

Maybe you have another idea....

Regards,

Alejandro.
