SAA is a nice tool if you have a good management station that can decifer
thertr mibs.
You can set your ce devices to act as a responder and set up a 2800 or
3800 off of you PE to send teh requests. So, from the PE perspective you
monitoring is routine traffic and it doesn't impact the cpu as much as
configuring saa on the PE.

There are lots of trap tools too.
I think we decided the RTR Requestor was a single snmp management station
resource, and that single resource collects stats for multiple sites.

  DR,
  You can do this in Varies Ways. Cisco SAA is a great tool, it is
  built into the IOS. You can use Cisco Works IPM package to collect
  the
  statistics or use a Standard SNMP based package to gather the output
  of SAA.
  You may write perl scripts as well to gather SAA statistics. I am
  sure there
  are many third party packages available in the Market that could also
  accomplish the same Task. SAA would be the Least resource/Bandwidth
  intensive in my opion provided you implement it correctly as it does
  take up
  CPU cycles on a router.

  Thanks,
