Anyone knows any software to monitor network load? It's useful to traking wheather the speed of communication is caused by having load system.

Thanks in advance!

 

Solar Winds network tools, will let you do bandwidth monitoring of SNMP enable interface (i.e. on routers) It may be useful to you

 

The solarwind is a complete software. Is there any simple software for LAN (IP)?

 

Try NetDecoder

from Woodhead Connectivity. It also works for some controls networks.

 

Hello,

Have a look at Ethereal ( "http://www.ethereal.com":http://www.ethereal.com ) which can be downloaded for free. Ethereal is a free network protocol analyzer for Unix and Windows. It allows you to examine data from a live network or from a capture file on disk. You can interactively browse the capture data, viewing summary and detail information for each packet. Ethereal has several powerful features, including a rich display filter language and the ability to view the reconstructed stream of a TCP session.

You are right. Solarwinds is a full SNMP-based Management Tool! Nevertheless SNMP is a good way to monitor network load. For example Switches with RMON (Remote Monitoring) deliver a lot of informations about the actual network traffic. An easy and inexpensive way to access these data is the use of a SNMP-OPC Server. Than you are able to "access" these data in HMI/SCADA-Systems (i.e WinCC, Genesis32, iFix etc.)or the Microsoft Office Suite. Have a look at "www.snmp-opc-gateway.com":http://www.snmp-opc-gateway.com .
