| * [[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, temperature sensors (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.
