[GRLUG] Finding the bandwidth hog

[Richard Maloley II]

Ben,

Do you have any sort of managed switching environment in place? If so then
you should be able to check each switch/port and identify the culprit
rather easily. That will get you to the necessary network segment then the
much smaller task of identifying the individual/computer can commence.

Thanks,
