Internet Bandwidth and Broadcasting on LAN
I am having a 512kbps bandwidth of internet
connection using DSL technology, in 1:3
ration shared medium.
But the problem is I dont get proper
bandwidth the service provider says that my
LAN is having to much of broadcasting.
Is there any tool thorugh which I can check ?
the braodcasting.
My LAN Includes Winx 9X clients, Windows NT
server and a Linux mail server
Few of the clients are having static IP and
few of them are obtaining Ip through DHCP.
How should I check broadcasting.
Apart from this after few hours the DSL
router doesnt pings the next hop as well
and my internet goes down entirely.
Thanks,
Amit.

Re: Internet Bandwidth and Broadcasting on LAN
Thanks allot.
I am having 1 Cisco, 1 Dlink and 4 3Com
Switches. All are cascaded to cisco.
All users are connected to the Dlink or
3Com Switches.
The Cable DSL modem is terminated on Dlink.
Since it does'nt negotiate with CISCO.
The WINNT Server's and Linux Server Plus
HP Network Printer is also connected to
Cisco Switch + 2 Users.
All clients are running Windows 95/98 and
only TCP/IP is the protocol we are using.
Thanks,
Amit

Re: Internet Bandwidth and Broadcasting on LAN
So I woudl start by installing ethereal on any D link connected windows client.
You'll get it here :
http://www.ethereal.com/download.html
You'll need to install before winpcap, which you'll find under windows installer section.
Launch a capture and filter by destination address... you'll see all broadcasts, and which machines they come from...
Tell if you have trouble with ethereal...

Re: Internet Bandwidth and Broadcasting on LAN
If you have a decent switch, the internal counters of that switch will give you information about broadcast packets on each port (the Cisco box will do definetely do that). Use the CLI or a MIB browser to get access to those values. Looking at those values, try to figure out how many broadcast packets you see per second or over a certain period of time. This will give you a good indication of what is going on.

Re: Internet Bandwidth and Broadcasting on LAN
Just a quick question. Why should local broadcasts matter? They don't get routed across the DSL router anyway and should have nothing to do with the sluggishness you're facing.
"This side" of the DSL router and "That side" are 2 seperate broadcast domains. Aren't they?

Re: Internet Bandwidth and Broadcasting on LAN
I had this kind of trouble twice, the first time, it was in fact some NetBios calls under b nodes that were filling router stack up, but the other time, it was my ISP not respecting its promisses...
Checking at frame level should get us know...
