Upload spike knocking out internet connection

[Theldron]

Hi all,

 

Over the last week we have been getting internet loss. I have contacted SWGFL and it seems we are getting upload spikes that is knocking the internet out and I have to restart the router to get it back.

 

I have checked anti-virus and everything seems fine, how would I go about finding where the spike is coming from?

 

Cheers

you could snmp monitor each switch port on your network or put a router inbetween your LAN and SWGFL connection. Something like a Draytek has a function called Data Flow monitor that allows you to see which client is eating up all of your bandwidth and then apply QOS to them if required.

 

Thanks

Hi, thanks but I used wireshark and found the issue was with one of our PCs. I restarted the PC and switch it was connected to and it has been fine since. Very strange.

 

But thanks for help.
