Hi Iain,<br />
<br />
Thanks for the feedback. It turns out the Firewall has an inbuilt Traffic Monitor that I missed. I have been using this to monitor traffic.<br />
<br />
Thanks Again.

No worries, your welcome. &nbsp;<br />

Pesky users using all the bandwidth, we have found ourselves monitoring this more since we grew by almost 50% in 18 months.

Pesky users is right. The majority of the users are external and come in over VPN. Since the number of users has increased we have noticed that when the external users are using there VPN the network slows down. VPN is controlled via the SBS server. &nbsp;Firewall resources spike when the users connect externally. Think it may be time to look at our VPN setup.<br />
<br />
Thanks Again.

Hi All,<br />
<br />
I am trying to find a way to monitor how much Bandwidth is being used on our Primary Internet Connection by certain services.<br />
<br />
Our setup includes an SBS 2011 server using Exchange 2010 (OA and OWA) and a CRM package that users sync with every evening over VPN (PPTP). These are the two main services that run on the server and are accessed by all internal and external users. I am trying to find out how much bandwidth is used by each of these services (Exchange OA/ OWA and the VPN Sync). Our perimeter device is a CheckPoint UTM-1 Edge NW. <br />
<br />
The idea of this is to determine which services use more bandwidth and then use the QoS on the Firewall to prioities traffic. I was looking at the ntopng (<a href="http://www.ntop.org/products/ntop/" rel="ugc">http://www.ntop.org/products/ntop/</a>) tool which seems to be capable of what I want to do. <br />
<br />
If anyone has any suggestions it would be be a big help.

Find out how much Bandwidth is being used

The term broadband commonly refers to high-speed Internet access that is always on and faster than the traditional dial-up access. Broadband includes several high-speed transmission technologies such as digital subscriber line (DSL), cable, fiber optics, wireless (for which there is a separate topic), satellite and broadband over powerlines (BPL).

Broadband

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.

Exchange

A virtual private network (VPN) is a network that uses a public telecommunication infrastructure, such as the Internet, to provide remote offices or travelling users access to a central organizational network securely. VPNs encapsulate data transfers using secure cryptographic methods and other security mechanisms to ensure that only authorized users can access the network and that the data cannot be intercepted.
