Monitoring Network Traffic using Netview 5.1

[Indy Chakrabarti <indy.chakrabarti@ewllc.com>]

I am trying to monitor the incoming network traffic for a website server. I
am wondering whether using Netview to monitor the interface traffic is
enough to get an accurate picture of the load on the network, or do I need
to add my own MIB application that will do a better job of measuring all the
packets. Basically I need to know if measuring interface traffic is
tantamount to measuring all network traffic, and thus gauging network
performance and bandwidth usage.

Thanks for any help.
