This is pretty good advice. You can possibly even do this from the host
servers with tshark, e.g.
# tshark -ni eth0 -q \
-z io,stat,0.01,ip.addr==192.168.1.1,tcp.port==999 \
-a duration:60
this will collect stats for 60 seconds, with 0.01 second granularity, and
present the numbers in a table. If you notice a large variance in the
second and third columns then you're probably running into microburst
territory.
