[mrtg] Re: Routing Table Size

[Rich Adamson]

Chris,
None of the router vendors provide an snmp mib that would indicate 
the total number of routes in their routing table. Would be kind of
nice though.
As network consultants we've written a small application that monitors
the route broadcasts (eg, rip, ripv2, ospf, igrp) and logs changes.
But it would not be something that you'd want to use. If you are
using rip, it shouldn't be that hard to write something to do the
equivalent and drop that number to mrtg.
