From article <29341@boulder.Colorado.EDU>, by pte900@jatz.aarnet.edu.au (Peter Elford):

Talking about IP accounting:

Is there a way too initiate the "clear ip accounting" command by means
of snmp ? I haven't found a variable that could do this (i.e.: by
doing a snmp 'set' onto it).

Another question: with a little programming (well, maybe a bit more)
one could write nice programs using frequently retrieved accounting data to
calculate traffic dispersion between different ip connections. For example
sampling the accounting data every 5 minutes, and subsampling the host/host
pairs that produce most network traffic could provide a nice 'top' tool
for monitoring. Has anybody done these kind of things ?
