I continue to have a situation where our internet connections slows down to a crawl. When I open the 506e PDM and look at the Interface Status and Traffic Status I can see a sustained, exceptionally high usage but can not tell who, or what is causing it. Normally, our usage bounces between 2 and 12 kbps, but when this happens, it stays up as high as 500
- 700kbps.
We are a small company - less than 50 users, so I walk around and ask every single person if they are uploading, downloading, watching video, listening to music, sending large emails... and every time, it seems that no one is.
I'm a PDM user and I know that I can use the command line to do a show local-host and look for hight tcp connections - but this is difficult for me to understand and sort through.
Can someone recommend a good application for monitoring the 506e that can present information in a format that I can understand it, and can help me determine who or what is causing this high usage when it occurs? This happens several times a month and sometimes a week.
Thanks, Mike
