Nice little program for analyzing protocols, haven't dug into it too much yet. > Is everything switched, or do you have some hub > segments?

We're moving things over to a 1Gb fiber backbone and 100 Mb to the W/S. There are a few 10Mb switches in use but that's pretty minimal. The areas of traffic problems are a few 100Mb segments tied together with the 1Gb fiber segment. One of the problems we've been trying to track down is all the machines set to auto frame types. We know taht's sending a lot of crap onto the network. No Quake protocols are in use currently, but I think I may have to write a filter for that. A few users I suspect are using bandwidth for some "extracurricular activites". -Brian
