hi everyone,
here I am to learn again and again again .. Since I feel a little awkward now, for the reason that I have never contributed to this community other then asking for suggestions and recommendations. Lazy dog :P

Anyways, experiencing some problem. Our corporate 2 mbps link to our head office is choked. Net work load is just fine, the way it used to be. I want to know that how can I sniff the network traffic from my link (backbone/core switch) to our head office. I need to monitor that what traffic is actually leaving from my regional link to the network backbone? I am already 'googling' it..but just wanted to share it with my community. Any suggestions on this would be appreciated.

Thanks anyways for bearing me all along.

Just one more thing..We are using CISCO switches and routers. So the environment is IOS based. Can it be a help, if i attatch my laptop to the console and try to sniff the traffic using some tool?
