RE: Managing Network bandwidth

["Bretten, Andrew P" <andrew.bretten () kroger com>]

Peter, look at Squid for an open source alternative to Bluecoat web proxies if cost is a big factor.

Either way, to add to what Khalid said about Bluecoat,  both options will also get you caching which will help you do 
more with your current bandwidth.

Hi Peter

I suggest to use first net flow application which it will help to keep monitoring all your routers and switches and it 
will help you also to see which computer ip address is utilize most of the bandwidth.

Also you can purchase any proxy server like bluecoat which will help manage the internet sites and blocked non 
work-related sites and add policy and restriction for downloading from the internet.
