+RTG is a flexible, scalable, high-performance SNMP statistics monitoring
+system. It is designed for enterprises and service providers who need to
+collect time-series SNMP data from a large number of targets quickly. All
+collected data is inserted into a relational database that provides a common
+interface for applications to generate complex queries and reports. RTG
+includes utilities that generate configuration and target files, traffic
+reports, 95th percentile reports and graphical data plots. These utilities may
+be used to produce a web-based interface to the data.
+
+The unique features of RTG are:
+ * Runs as a daemon, incurring no cron or kernel startup overhead
+ * Written entirely in C for speed, incurring no interpreter overhead
+ * Multi-threaded for asynchronous polling and database insertion
+ * Inserts data into a relational database where complex queries and reports
+ may be generated
+ * Performs no data averaging in order to support billing, etc.
+ * Can poll at sub-one-minute intervals
