I have a multi-site private network using MPLS.
We have a Private IP scheme using 192.168/24 addresses where the 3rd octet identifies my sites.
Users ate one site, have 2 bonded T1's for a 3MB port to the MPLS cloud.
They tell me that during the middle part of the day, their access to the application hosted at my other site, slows to a crawl.
Using Ping and Traceroute, I notice that the trace hops are definitely slow on their end, and that the slowness tends to start abruptly and End Abruptly at around the same time each day.
I suspect that 1 (or more) PC's may either be launching something that is using a lot of bandwidth, or a PC may be infected with something.
I would love to be able to run a packet analyzer or something that might tell me for example that IP 192.168.5.65 is sent/received 100mb data from/to {some public IP address like Youtube or something} in the last X minutes.
I would need to scan all IP addresses at that location (192.168.5.x)
So my question is what would be the best approach for someone like me who has never used a Packet Analyzer?
Thanks in advance,
Chuck
