The only RMON in hardware that I am aware of involves hubs. Cabletron has 
I think three different models that currently do this and I'm pretty sure
Synoptics does it. I haven't heard of any router products that do this. It 
would seem that the pocessing burden for routers is already too high to 
consider adding RMON, at least that's my guess.
