ZDNet lists a bunch of "free" Ethernet Traffic Monitors below. http://downloads.zdnet.com/search.aspx?kw=traffic+monitor <http://downloads.zdnet.com/search.aspx?kw=traffic+monitor&osfilter=windows& licfilter=free> &osfilter=windows&licfilter=free _____ From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ehren Benson Sent: Wednesday, February 04, 2009 2:03 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [MSUNAG] Bandwith monitoring App I don't necessarily want to test bandwidth of an internet link, more along the lines of current activity. It looks like this is similar to the online speed tests, but I could be wrong. Ehren J.

Sometimes the difference between a good link and a marginally sub-optimal one can only be recognized using a good monitoring tool especially when faster connections are involved. Talk to me if you are interested in automating their tools. Laurence 5-2178 _____ From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Ehren Benson Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2009 4:13 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Bandwith monitoring App I need a simple application that will give me some kind of real time graph of lan traffic on a particular system. I have googled around and havent found anything thats really what I want. I have tried bandwidth monitor pro, which was fine except my trial ran out and I dont really want to pay for it when I'm sure there has to be something free out there. Has anyone used anything or have any suggestions? It is for a windows box. Thanks Ehren J.
