Streaming, real time MRTG solution?

[Ted Mittelstaedt]

Hmm, perhaps this will help:


A student one day came to a Zen master and said "Master, I want to
build the shortest road to Miyako, how should it be built"

"The shortest road to Miyako is the straightest" replied the
master.

So the student built a road to Miyako.  When it was done he went
back to the master in despair and said "Master, I cannot tell if
the road I built is straight"

The master replied "Climb to the top floor of this house and look"

So, the student did so and when he was done he went back to the master
in despair and said "Master, I can see it better but I still cannot
tell if the road I built is straight"

The master replied "Build a tall tower and climb to the top and look"

So, the student did so and when he was done he went back to the
master in despair and said "Master, I can see it better but I still
cannot tell if the road I built is straight"

The master replied "Build the tallest tower possible and climb to the top
and look"

So, the student did so and when he was done he went back to the
master in despair and said "Master, I can see it better but I still
cannot tell if the road I built is straight"

The master replied "climb to the top of that hill and look"

So, the student did so and when he was done he went back to the
master in despair and said "Master, I can see it better but I still
cannot tell if the road I built is straight"

The master replied "climb to the top of that tall mountain and look"

So, the student did so and when he was done he went back to the
master in despair and said "Master, I can see it better but I still
cannot tell if the road I built is straight"

The master replied "climb to the top of the tallest mountain in
the world and look"

So, the student did so and when he was done he went back to the
master in despair and said "Master, I can see it better but I still
cannot tell if the road I built is straight.  I can't climb any
higher I will have to grow wings and fly to go higher"

The master replied "you are not a bird"

At that moment, the student was enlightened.



How many measurements are in 'real time'?
