One way OIT Network Switching and Routing monitors the campus data nework
is by collecting statistics.
Many of the statistics measure
traffic volume flowing through the network infrastructure.
In some cases, we collect other relevant data; for example,
CPU usage of key infrastructural components.
We also collect some statistics provided by a few hosts attached to the network.
Access is restricted to Web clients on Princeton University campus networks
(excluding "visitor/external-like" networks),
or Web clients which provide a valid Princeton University netid and password.
