I think he was pulling your leg.

In reality, to do this properly you need to use a netflow tool like
flow-tools (http://www.splintered.net/sw).  I don't think the HP
pro-curve switch supports netflow or any variant thereof.  I also don't
think that it has any enhanced QOS mibs that you could pull the stats
from.

So, the question is, how would you determine which traffic is
"international" and which isn't?  Using flow-tools you could tell by AS
number.  Using a QOS mib you could write a QOS rule that traffic shapped
the different classes by an access list with a prefix match and then
monitor the input to the QOS rule.

But MRTG is not magic.  It doesn't know anything other than how to read
counters and make pretty graphs from the counters.  It's up to you, as
the admin, to come up with counters that are interesting.
