If you want total no nonsense identifiction of of the source of high packet counts then you aint going to do much better than using a little util called Tvark it's quick simple is graphical gives you a display of links IP to IP so allows you to see the culprit of large numbers of packets .
I used it recently to identify the location on an network spreadout over several branches of a business that is all linked via ADSL it worked a treat soon found the darn windBlows machine that was causing total havoc on the network trying to act as a DNS and spread it's load around Ha stopped dead .

Helle Pete, Thanks for the reply an the info on tvark.
I have a few questions on it now. i see in the install file that mysql an client is needed. . after reading more I see its only needed if you want to save packet information to mysql database.
are you doing that . an if not are you saving any of the data any other way.
thanks
