Dear all,

           i am a new member to this mailing list and i hope u all
will help me out in solving the problem in my network

Problem 1 :

a) I have around 800 users in LAN and we have almost all the
networking devices in place.This is also a production
environment.Users often complain me about the network being slow and i
installed Ethereal in my PC to analyze LAN traffic.

b) Now i  am successfully able to capture all the traffic flowing
across my Network.

c) Can anyone suggest, what should be the Traffic that i should really
be monitoring at (i.e) what kind of Capture Filter should i create to
Filter out the Unwanted Traffic in my LAN

Problem 2:

a) Can Ethereal also be used to analysis switch traffic and to find
out which port of my switch is generating a lot a traffic ?

eagerly awaiting for your valuable suggestions !!

Regards

Venkatesh
