How to identify network saturation

I'm working to annotate the amount of saturation on my servers subnet in hopes of having that portion of the network enhanced. I'm running HPUX 11.00.

Can anyone recommend the simplest way to record the amount of traffic coming to my HP L2000?

thanks,

Re: How to identify network saturation

I'm not absolutely sure what your are looking for, but your network equipment (switch) should be the right place to look into.

Hope this helps!

Re: How to identify network saturation

Joe,

A few ways to measure inbound traffic:

1) 'netstat -in', make note of Ipkts, 'netstat -in' again, compute the delta. If you're interested in throughput, divide the delta by the length of the interval to get a rate.

2) 'glance -l' for "Network by Interface".

3) 'lanadmin', 'lan', 'display'.

4) MeasureWare/UX

Good luck,

PCS
