Information on Bandwidth Issues

["Keith Bucknall" <keith.bucknall () zen co uk>]

Dear All,

IF possible I am looking for some advice on some problems our users, over
the last 2 weeks our network activity has increased 10 fold, most of our
applications are running very slow, from email, SQL databases and our
application in particular the ones that use Tarantella Secure Desktop a RDP
based Terminal Services.  WE have recently moved the T/S to another location
with a 2MB WAN link and I am really looking for some advice and types of
tools I could use to monitor the traffic from site A to B and the internal
LAN of site A and B.

We use all 3com Managed Switches and the link is provided by a managed
service, I thought about running Ethereal but understand as we uses switches
I would have to mirror a port on each of the 5 switches, is there a tool I
could install on either site to monitor the traffic, my main concern is
either with have an increase in RDP traffic or perhaps a potential problem.

 

Kind Regards

 

Keith Bucknall
