It records: The tool generates easy-to-read graphs that help system administrators understand bandwidth usage patterns and network performance. Key Feature of MRTG One important thing to note is that MRTG displays average transfer values, not exact real-time totals. These averages can still be used to estimate total bandwidth consumption. Calculating Monthly Bandwidth Usage You can calculate approximate monthly bandwidth usage using MRTG …
