Re: (ASCEND) Monitoring Bandwidth Usage on P50
Hi Shaun,
One program that has worked well for us is Net Medic, http://www.vital
signs.com - the program shows throughput, # of hops to a site and also shows
the relative health of the site you are connecting to, your ISP and your
connection.
Another program is AnySpeed, http://www.pysoft.com this program lets you put
in an URL, IP address or network resource (hard drive) and will show the
read/write or ping speed of a connection. You can let AnySpeed run all day
or days and it will keep a trends graph. You can specify the test interval.
Both of these solutions work from Win95 and approach the measurement from
the end user standpoint. The only SNMP monitoring product I've had any
experience with is Edge Lite http://www.pantherdig.com/~snmpshop/prods.html.
Edge Lite will show utilization at the P50 but does not provide info about
anything else. Hope this helps, let me know if you find something better.
