We use a tool from Myspeed.com    They have a time-limited free version but the paid version can be useful for ongoing network monitoring.  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.

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
