Raj,

What about using MRTG to monitor the switchport interfaces with SNMP? You
would then be able to identify your top user/s in a nice manager style graph
=) as well as statistical numbers and percentages. MRTG is freely available
at http://mrtg.hdl.com/mrtg.html. Another suggestion would be to use a
sniffer and span the vlan. With CA Sniffer (Pro), you can also see who the
top talkers are. I'm not sure if other flavors have that feature or not.

Thanks,
Mike N
