Hi Adam,
We were just meeting to discuss our traffic accounting and one thing I forgot to mention is that DCU records bytes so being able to multiply by 8 to get bits would be nice.
Cheers, Dave.

Hi Adam,
The reality is I’m not sure how many people are using the DCU MIB. We more or less found DCU by accident and got creative. We aren’t using it as it was originally engineered. Our need was to find a way to track Internet/transit usage of our members. We tried flows but the best we could get was an approximation since we couldn’t do 1:1 flow analysis, more like 1:10000. The individual interface graphs weren’t much better because they carried lots of traffic which isn’t charged for in the same way. It was only because we found the MIB as part of the Observium install that I wondered if you were planning to support it more directly.
The reality is that being able to aggregate the four custom OID graphs into a single stacked graph would more than suffice for our needs.
Cheers, Dave.

Hi David,
I've never seen JUNIPER-DCU-MIB, how common is its use?
It only classifies traffic on one direction, the billing system currently expects bidirectional traffic.
It seems aggregate graphs for custom oid doesn't seem to work at the moment, so I'll have a look at that.
It seems that the current multi-customoid graphs take the custom oid id, so you can't mix multiple different types. I'll make another graph type which allows mixing too.
Adam.

Hello,
We are using the Juniper DCU MIB to track member traffic for billing purposes. We have two upstream transit providers and have created custom OID entries for each member and transit provider for IPv4 and IPv6. The end result is four custom OIDs per member. Ideally we would like to use the traffic accounting module and assign the four custom OID graphs to one bill but can’t figure out how. Is there a way to combine the four OIDs into a single stacked graph so we can see the aggregate of all traffic to both providers? Is there an alternative way to do this short of doing it manually with rrd?
Lastly, is there any planned support for the Juniper DCU MIB so we can use this to monitor members transit traffic?
Thanks, Dave Milton SRNet Operations
