Hello Petric,

YES there is a wonderful tool to statistically track your network
connections and present substantiating evidence to your carrier
to support your Service Level Agreement. Briefly reading up on 
RFC 2544, it's all about data collection, monitoring and presenting
SLA reports.

First, there is a quick, minimal tool, call bm (bandwidth monitor) for
mere instantaneous (concurrent) viewing. CBM  Color Bandwidth Monitor
is new to the portage tree, so you much "sync" to install that
version.


The  comprehensive tool is JFFNMS, also in portage, which is
backed nicely by either mysql or postgresql:

"Configurable per Circuit SLA’s (with RPN logic)"

You should join/use the discussion group:

hth,
James
