How to detect the real-time network utilization

Network utilization is the ratio of current network traffic to the maximum traffic that the port can handle. Through monitoring network utilization, we can understand whether the network is busy, normal or idle.

The Potential threats if the network utilization is over normal:

  • Will slow down the internet access and employee productivity;
  • Affect downloading;
  • Uploading. The bandwidth may becomes the bottleneck of business development. The current bandwidth can’t satisfy customers, without detecting the problem in time, you will lose your customers, decline in customers’ satisfaction, etc.
  • Package lost, some highly demanding IM business(like VoIP) will be affected seriously.

Colasoft Capsa make it easy for us to monitor the network utilization, so as to find out the bottleneck and improve network performance.

Check the brief current utilization in “Summary” after start the project:

We may switch among the nodes in the “Explorer” to view network utilization of a specific node:

We can also view network utilization by bits or by percentage in “Graphs” view. More ever, we can compare 2 different charts to better understand the network status.

Give top priority on your network utilization, Colasoft Capsa will help you quickly detect the network utilization and other network problems.
