I used the history function, and was able to playback a capture and watch utilization, etc. Pretty cool. I modified the history function to update once per second and it gave me a pretty nifty graph. Would exporting to CSV and importing into Excel give me a better graph?
Another side question. For some reason on the laptop I'm using, Sniffer Pro shows that the line speed is 100Mbps (even without a cable connected to the NIC). My question is this: Since I captured the data in a 10-Half mode, when I view the graph of utilization, am I seeing a percentage of 10Mbps that the capture was, or am I seeing a percentage of the 100Mbps that it sees the NIC in? At one point, in my playback, the packets/sec spikes up to 1000 and utilization is around 4%. Because the packet size varies, I'm trying to nail down if that 4% is 400Kbps (4% of 10Mbps) or 4Mbps (4% of 100Mbps). My suspion is that it is 4% of 10Mbps (since the capture was done at 10Mbps) Thanks! Mike W. Mike Sweeney wrote: > > Use the history function and capture a history trace of > utilization.
