[AuckLUG] SNMP monitoring of Netgear DG834

[Hansel Dunlop]

Hi Jamie

Are you sure that you are only getting a maximum of 450 kilobits per second?
What might be happening is that you are getting 450 kilo bytes per second.

3,500,000 bits per second divided by 8 = 437,500 bytes per second, or 437.5KB/s.

My ihug connection never seems to go over 250 KB/s. However they have never
capped me so I never felt the need to complain.

Cheers

Hansel
