[rtg] Creating availability graph's

[James Netnix]

We've been usin rtgpoll to trend Cisco's IPSLA data. I set up a UDP  
test to run from 9 routers, all back to each other, once every 60  
seconds. This was per a client's request.

Then I use a Crystal Reports, but anything that gets data out of a DB  
works, to add up total packets sent and received. That gives me an  
availability by packet delivery from siye to site, little different  
than by port/router up time.

Bonus is we also get jitter and latency as well from site to site.

If you have Cisco running the right code (12.3+ i think) this was not  
too hard to get rolling.

Good Luck!
