Who cares about Cisco hardware ;)

No I meant does anything attempt to make sense of Linux Traffic Control
statistics - think "tc -s show class dev eth0".

I think I answered my own question though - because one class can have
many filters assigning stuff to it - it is hard to automatically assign
a description to a class (other than it's ID).

It might be possible to do this through something like "tcng" but I'm
not yet convinced tcng actually simplifies life - or just makes it
possible to generate "tc" commands so complex I can't debug them.

I though maybe nagios would have a module that makes some sense of these
things - perhaps I should write one if it doesn't.
