I had another engineer come to me the other day and he asked me what other tool he could use to monitor the bandwidth of a circuit. His users had this video conference going via gotomeeting and, although I was not on the call he was on, my guess is that someone on that call had some latency issue in the video. So while he was on the call, I told him lets pull up Interface Traffic Monitor. I really like this free tool. Its a realtime bandwidth monitor that allows you to see just how much bandwidth is being used. So I quickly configured it for the site that was having issues, and sure enough, they were seeing 100% utilization on the T1 link.
See below the screenshot of when the user was on the video conference and when they were not on it.
This is the retired Shane Killen personal blog, an IT technical blog about configs and topics related to the Network and Security Engineer working with Cisco, Brocade, Check Point, and Palo Alto and Sonicwall. I hope this blog serves you well. -- May The Lord bless you and keep you. May He shine His face upon you, and bring you peace.
