-  * [[sortedstats|Traffic statistics]] (2,20) for all "​intersections"​ in the network; ​ i.e. all router and switch ports. Octet, packet and error  counters are collected, along with CPU and memory statistics ​ (and more). Use the [[sortedstats#​ranked_statistics|"​ranked statistics"​]] (19) to present a list of interfaces with most traffic, the highest error counts, etc. The traffic statistics collection uses [[http://​people.ee.ethz.ch/​~oetiker/​webtools/​rrdtool/​|RRDTool]] and [[http://​cricket.sourceforge.net/​|Cricket]]. NAV automatically builds the Cricket configuration tree for you.+  * [[sortedstats|Traffic statistics]] (2,20) for all "​intersections"​ in the network; ​ i.e. all router and switch ports.
