Question : How do I measure or detect network/subnet saturation?
|
|
I'm dealing with an issue with a slow webserver performance. When the server is on subnet A pages load very slow. If we move this same server to subnet B, it runs great. The server does receive a lot of traffic. Are there are tools that we can use to verify our hunch that this is a saturated subnet?

I typically run this from a windows based laptop. The tool itself will sniff any traffic. Things like apple talk, LPR, Netbios. It will be able to show you anything that is going on, on a given port on your switch. If you have cisco switches, I believe you can set all the ports to mirror to a single port and that will show you all the traffic on a given switch.
