As an institution's network grows, support demands grow with it. Deploying network utilization and behavior tools is one of the most essential steps in the support process. These tools provide better insight into a network's reactions, usage trends, and capacity planning. Tools in this space include Multi-Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) and Cricket. Both are available in the public domain, and both provide "near realtime" graphs that represent network utilization in the form of in- and outbound traffic. This information lets you make decisions that affect the efficiency and overall operational status of your network.
