Pawel: you are not confusing ifName with ifDescr perhaps?
Nope; we are using lots of tunnels and they are named indicating customer names. I never was a fan of eth0, eth1, eth1337 and stuff and I use proper interface names that have sense to humans pretty much everywhere I can. Both FreeBSD and Mikrotik lets you name interfaces how you see fit. Unfortunately FreeBSD doesn't expose description in SNMP, which I'd love to use to describe customers (ID, bw).
Our use for Observium is mainly monitoring our access network and customers' CPEs.
