The first thing I suggest is installing MRTG [Multi-Router Traffic Graph]. This will help you understand how much bandwidth you are using to the Internet, and back.

 

Get it at www.mrtg.org.

 

You will also have to set up SNMP on your router. Use the snmp-server command to set up your SNMP details. With that information, you can then find out whether you cap at your CIR from your provider, or whether you have an internal congestion problem.

Subject: I NEED HELP

Good day,

pls I need help on my serial link that is misbehaving badly. my VSAT link is always timing out everyday and the request time when ping my provider is very high about 1325 to 1456ms. so someone told me that my link is choked up or there is a collusion on my VSAT link or my providers are not giving me the requested bandwidth we ask for from them.

Now, I want you to help on how to check on my cisco 2600 router  how to check for collusion and check the actual bandwidth we are getting from our provider.

secondly, how can I know from my router or on the network if my link is choked up by my client.

I will appreciate your urgent reply, thanks
