Monitoring bandwidth utilisation a Frame relay link

Hi folks,

Im hoping someone can help/point me in the right direction, and dont even know if this is the correct forum, but here goes. We have a frame relay link, and I need to monitor its bandwidth utilisation over a period of time (say 1 day). This is all to gather data so that I can prepare a document on if we need to increase the bandwidth of our trunk route. Ideally Id like a load of data (say in k/sec) with a poll rate of say 5 secs or greater vs the time (say 24hours). Then dump it into Excel and plot a graph and show it to my CIO. Ive found out a few things which point to the fact that the frame is saturating (ie hitting its peak thru-put), but I have no "hard" data (just frame discards and BECN and FECN figures). Can anyone help!!??? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
