BGP peer traffic monitoring

Mon Feb 3 18:37:19 UTC 2014

We perform MAC Based accounting on our IX interface and that allows us to monitor / graph traffic based off MAC address instead of being limited to the aggregate data of a single interface.  

Here's the JUNOS way of doing it, I'm sure other vendors have their equivalent.

I have a router with about 20 peers, most are all on a single port
(local exchange), how is everyone monitoring traffic to individual
peers?
