How do administrators find bandwidth hogs?
Q: How do administrators find bandwidth hogs?
A: Administrators identify bandwidth hogs through close
analysis of a network, looking for IP addresses, devices or applications that
may be using more than their reasonable share of bandwidth on a network.
There are various ways to do this.
Administrators can use the features of a wireless router to look at which
devices and processes are using bandwidth. A firewall can also provide
comprehensive information on bandwidth usage within the network.
In general, the best way to find
bandwidth hogs is to examine real-time use with visual dashboards. New
third-party bandwidth monitoring tools offer these kinds of visual dashboards
that make IP address and device usage transparent, and show administrators a
real-time view of bandwidth use. This makes it easier to spot bandwidth hogs
and manage the network.
