Introduction

Torrus is a network monitoring system (NMS) for discovering and monitoring routers, switches and other network equipment with SNMP. Starting in version 2.3, Freeside integrates Torrus (like the RT ticketing system), providing an integrated system for doing 95th percentile and straight volume billing.
