What tools are available for monitoring network bandwith?

Asked by Priest04 in Network Analysis Software, Network Management

Hello all,

I have a small network connected to a unmanaged switch. PCs are connected in a workgroup (windows XP), and one PC acts as a server, others as client. How can I see what is the peek load on the server-switch link, to see if it is a bottleneck, so I need to upgrade it? I don't want to know only approximate bandwidth, but peek bandwidth too.

Just to clarify further, I need information when all 5 PCs communicate to server, can it provide all data to them without being a bottle neck. Knowing the capacity of the link will not help in this situation, if I don't know how much bandwidth other client PC's need.

Thanks,
