Not sure how you are policing, but I belive both Juniper and Cisco have
MIBs that show the policed traffic.  For example, when we used Cisco CAR
to limit traffic on some ports, I set up Cricket to monitor both the
base port and the CAR stats (so we could see how much traffic was
actually passed).

I haven't got around to doing it for Juniper firewall policers, but I
pretty sure the info is in a MIB.
