Thanks for the reply. Yes, I did measure the utilization in my LAN. And
what I observed was a maximum utilization of 4% (100 Mb/s link) over 30
minutes.
There is always peak loads that last for a few seconds or minutes (ex:
backups). I am more interested in utilization or network load over
longer time periods like 10's of minutes.
Thanks!
