Very true, I should go back and do some good analyzing of our network to see what hot spots and traffic jams I can find. Still pretty sure we are just pushing bargin bin switches too far things can get really sticky and slow once we go into full production for a game and everyone is beating on the network.

So I guess my next question is what would be the best software (hopefully low cost or free) that can help me identify where in our network the issues may be coming from or what systems are causing any major lockups and slowdowns.

Any suggestions? Or experience with one over another?
