Right,

The MRTG graphs are there for each interface and now for the LAG on a
members page, but p2p for Netflix is 100% blank graphs as there is no p2p
data for flows going to their LAG.

yes we are Juniper EX4500.

I would be happy to re-enable SNMP read access for you.

It is almost Midnight here so I am off to bed.

Cheers
Brian

FYI
Martin Levy was the original introduction IXP manager.  He said you guys
are getting good traction and more IXs running IXP Manager.
