I assume you are using the 50 series of I/A workstations. I use "snoop -d /dev/hme0 -o /dev/null multicast" to watch how many multicasts (specialized broadcasts) are going on. The command gives you a running count of how many are seen. Type Control C to get out of this snoop command. Type man snoop to get other options for snoop.
