show interface , will give you info of how mutch traffic the interface gets &quot;in/out&quot; .<br />
Else you should set a hub after the router and connect a PC and use Wireshark to see traffic between computers on your network.<br />
<br />
Thats the best way, then you will also see what source the traffic is comming from.<br />

I have interface status, but it only shows the packets in / out and total bandwidth usage.

<div>
<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a cisco 857 router.<br />
<br />
Sometimes the bandwidth will shoot up to 100% for long intervals.<br />
<br />
is there a way to tell exactly what is coming in and out? I have tried looking at the logging info, but it gives no mention of the size of information etc that is being transfered, just says &quot;external ip to internal ip 1packet&quot;<br />
<br />
Also, our connection keeps dropping every now and again, is there a way to find out how long the connection has been established on the 857? I cant seem to find anything.

Troubleshooting Internet connections

A router is a networking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Routers perform the "traffic directing" functions on the Internet. The most familiar type of routers are home and small office cable or DSL routers that simply pass data, such as web pages, email, IM, and videos between computers and the Internet. More sophisticated routers, such as enterprise routers, connect large business or ISP networks up to the powerful core routers that forward data at high speed along the optical fiber lines of the Internet backbone. Though routers are typically dedicated hardware devices, use of software-based routers has grown increasingly common.

Routers

Network analysis is the process of identifying and remediating the processes and systems within a network, including performance, connectivity and security. The process is performed through the use of tools developed for monitoring and analyzing network activity. Network problems that involve finding an optimal way of doing something are studied under the name combinatorial optimization. Examples include network flow, shortest path problem, transport problem, transshipment problem, location problem, matching problem, assignment problem, packing problem, routing problem, Critical Path Analysis and PERT (Program Evaluation & Review Technique).
