Okay thanks for the ideas, this is lan traffic, and Ill have to see when I get onsite if the switches are capable of snmp or similar. Netflow crossed my mind as well.

I hate to suggest this as it's so rudimentary, but isolate the server (or have a test server) and bring up the connection status and then benchmark the # of packets sent/received during a client/server session ... I like the MRTG option, you could monitor the router/switch port, and could also enable SNMP on the server and monitor there too... and several packet capture/sniffer type tools could also help to isolate your info, I think OmniPeek Personal would do that amongst others _____ From: Benjamin Zachary - Lists [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2008 11:37 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: How much network traffic per app? I have been asked to determine what the network traffic is for a particular client/server app. Other than running some bandwidth tests, and then running them while running the application is about the best thing I came up with. Is there any particular software that could do something like that? A sniffer and such wouldn't tell me bandwidth used. We are deciding whether a terminal server (75k/user) is better than vpn for the particular app. Personally I like TS for the other advantages but I need to have something close to accurate.
