Like others have mentioned, MRTG is good for overall traffic levels and
trending. If you want to narrow things down to who is doing what, then I
suggest using ntop, which is also free.

Please respond to
"NT System Admin
Issues"
I'd love to see it as well. I've got to find some way of charting /
graphing network useage / bandwidth consumption. We've written an
application that controls industrial processes and we've got to find
some way of visually demonstrating that our software isn't all that
bandwidth intensive.

Yeah, Mark, I'd love to check it out, as well. Where do we find it?

Sui,
I have built one. Runs under DOS (not a DOS box on a Win9x/NT/Win2K). It
usually runs, but occasionally quits (been too busy to find out exactly
where the problem is). But it shows the current top 10
users on your network (promiscuous mode), and what type of traffic they
are generating. Save ASCII summaries for further study or archive. I use
it all the time.
You do need to populate a file with MAC addresses and the corresponding
name.
If you are interested, let me know.
Mark

Hi everyone, I am looking for a software that will monitor the network
traffic on our LAN/WAN . Sometimes I find the network is very sluggish
and at other times, it is normal, I want to pin down the
problem. I also expect the software to be able to identify which
workstation is transferring big files, such a ppt file etc. Thanks for
your info.
