Using Cisco Mars to monitor and report bandwidth usage

Does anyone know if a Cisco mars can monitor and give reports for bandwidth usage?

CS-MARS Standalone: v6.0

We are trying to get reports from a Point to Point circuit. We have a 3560 switch going to a 7206 router at one location going over a point to point to another 7206 router and would like to see how much bandwidth we are using on a daily basis.

nowhere in the product feature sheet it's written actually, don't have it installed anywhere so cannot verify, but considering it to be a security product more likely it will show the attack and threat pattern related reports rather than b/w.

I would definitely go for MRTG/PRTG Or CACTI Or Netflow in order to get free professional bandwidth usage reports. (Netflow softw is not free)

MARS is more of an Intrusion Detection system. It can alert you if there is a sudden increase in traffic to a port, but it doesn't have usage reporting.
