Greetings scottbortis,<br />

I would highly recommend using one of those Open source network analyzer tools, and I believe the best in the market is Ethereal, try it and let me know:<br />

I had used wireshark to track it down, however the MS NLB protocol doesn't have any start or end point so it is very difficult to track down. &nbsp;The destination is Broadcast (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff) &nbsp;and the source is (02:01:00:00:00:00). &nbsp;So I am unable to track it down using network sniffing tools. &nbsp;Any other suggestions?<br />

MS NLB Traffic

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.

Networking

Network design and methodology, also known as network architecture, is the design of a communication network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as data formats used in its operation. In telecommunication, the specification of a network architecture may also include a detailed description of products and services delivered via a communications network, as well as detailed rate and billing structures under which services are compensated.

Network Architecture

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
