ARP saturated network

by gchichester . Updated 22 years, 4 months ago

What is the best way to determine the cause of an ARP saturated network?

Using my Fluke network monitor I will notice that ARP is running anywhere from 50% to 75%. While IP is around 30% to 50%. I can?t seem to find any rime or reason for this high ARP traffic. I comes and goes at random lasting anywhere from 2 min to hours.

We are currently a single NT4 domain with about 500 nodes running a mixed NT4 workstation & Windows 2000 Pro on a switched network, with both Netbeui & IP protocols active. We are also a part of Trust in a Active Directory.
