How to determine the amount of bandwith being used

[pgaliardo]

We have 6 remote sites connected to the central office all connected by dedicated T1's. There is a Cisco 2600 series router at the central office and 1720's at the remote. Is there a way via the IOS to determine how much of that 1.544 MB is actually being used - either in real time or an average? If not, is there a third party utility that will do this?

Thanks.

Here are the options ...

1. Use the show interface command to look at the stats.

2. Configure Cacti, MRTG, or such to monitor the int in real time.

3. Export netflow information to a netflow collector for per protocol analysis.
