Folks,

One quick question, I want to know if any similar type of open source tool
available through which we can check which process or application is
originating high volume of network traffic through RDP?


If you can come up with the logic, of course.

Typically, you gather information from perfmon. Anything that you
can't get from there can be addressed with scripts.

I am not quite sure what you are looking for with your example though.
I know you can get resource utilization from RDP but any process you
start while connected via RDP is its own entity. It creates
connections and uses resources on its behalf. You would have no way of
knowing whether that application was tied to that particular session.

I could be wrong though.
