asked on

network monitoring and control software

  Hi everyone,

   I have a network of 25 computers, all conected to internet via a server. The operating system on the server is Windows 2000 server. My question sound like this:
    What software to use on the server to:
 - monitor bandwidth
 - monitor traffic by ip
 - create rules of bandwidth by ip or dynamic bandwidth allocation ( when there are less users, the bandwith is realocated )
 - log trafic by ip
 - create traffic rules by ip
 - create traffic charts ( optionally )

   Thank you in advance and awaiting your answers.

  Hello again,

  Sorry for the delay.
     I have managed to try a bit netlimiter..after I installed it and rebooted, the server stopped responding. I don't know if this is caused by netlimiter or other problem but when I uninstalled netlimiter in safe mode, it rebooted normally. I will try again.
     Dragonmen said something about OBSERVER...where can I get it?

   My mistake from the start that I didn't say anything about my topology:
      I have a LAN of 25 computers connected through CAT 5e, 4 or 5 switches and one server.
  On the server I have installed a firewall and anti-virus program. The routing for the internet is done through NAT. That is all.

  I have a question regarding ISA SERVER 2004: will it function as a transparent proxy?
