Hi there guys! thanks for the help. I will be looking into them. I know Cacti and Nagios from my previus work at a local ISP, but didnt know if they will fit for the job. I will give them a good read. What about shell commands? Wich one would you recommend besides ping and traceroute? Thanks the help :)

Hi there! im trying to build a new site/monitor for the country i live in (Paraguay) to monitor the quality of the ISPs down here. This is just a couple of guys project, and im searching for a tool that will do network analisys with little to no impact on the ISP network. I was thinking on doing PING to a lot of (static) ip's for each network and monitor the state of the connection. If the ping respond, then the network is fine. If one falls and the other not, its just a reboot. If all of them fall, its an ISP problem. Measure saturation, response time, etc. We have a lots of drops down here (only one real provider of fiber, COPACO, witch is a state controled company) and that bring us some problems. I was thinking on renting a linode VPS (20$ a month, not so bad) with debian to acomplish this. I have little no none network experience, so any help will be helpfull. I you guys have a better idea on how to acomplish this, that would be great also :) Thanks, sorry for the n00bism PS: sorry for the bad english, i learned it from lolcats and "Friends" :P

its as easy as this: <?php @session_start(); // THIS GOES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE FILE $_SESSION['thename']='is my name'; echo $_SESSION['thename']; ?> I hope it helps :)
