Hello all,
I have a bit of a quandary that I'd like to get some feedback on.
I have a customer that's wanting to sign up for several vps servers, and be billed per-mbps instead of a base amount of gigs. Can anyone tell me if either of the below options are feasible?
1) vlan tagging on each vps's traffic
In this method, I would set up each of his vps'es to have their traffic tagged with a specific vlan ID, and then shove all of his traffic into a separate vlan on my switch. This would be easier from my perspective, as I'm quite familiar with snmp monitoring of switches.
2) snmp monitoring on the HW node
This method would involve setting up something like net-snmp on the HW node, and then getting the data out of each vps as it's polled. I've found a previous thread on here about something similar to this, but the big stumbling block I'm hitting is figuring out the custom scripting in net-snmp (documentation for this is VERY scarce), and getting RTG to properly read that data.
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks!
