Monitor bandwidth on the network
Posted on 2011-03-14
Hi there,
I have clients with sbs2003 and some server2003 with xp/win 7 clients which I would like to monitor bandwidth of computers. Can anyone recommend a piece of software which can do this well?
For example, last week I could see 7MB broadband coming into the router on friday, but when I ran a speed test on client PCs they were only getting 1MB, but today is fine.

I'm using NetLimiter 2 Monitor (Free), it has lots of great features. You can view your bandwidth within any time frame. You also can see how much bandwidth each application uses.
Or you can flash your router with a 3rd party firmware like Tomato (better for bandwidth monitoring) and DD-WRT (compatible with more routers). This way you can monitor all devices connected to the router including consoles.
Thank you

Any other suggestions? http://www.manageengine.com/products/netflow/ this looked impressive. But I spoke to their support and my Draytek router or lower end procurve switch are not supported.
I assume each client is connected to a managed switch with snmp capability. If this is the case then you should use cacti or mrtg to monitor the utilization of each port of your switch. It will graph it on a daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly basis. Mrtg is more command line based and cacti is php based with a gui.
That's unfortunate. I still think snmp is the best way to do this. You can enable snmp on the windows clients and monitor them directly using mrtg, prtg, or cacti. Windows has snmp built in, or easily installable. It just needs configured. When setup it will allow you to query the Ethernet/wireless interfaces of the clients and create a traffic graph.
