I have a FRAME WAN with a central host site. I have been looking for some software that is "dummy" proof to show me performance information over the WAN. Moving files (copy) is dreadfully slow. As the users increase on the network, I would like to be able to monitor its performance and understand what it is really telling me. Can someone let me know where information on this type of understanding is and what software (free or commercial) would help in this case?

I have had good success with NetIQ products. I have done quite a bit of remote monitoring and testing fr letency and QOS and they have some pretty robust tools here.

This link is for the Systems Management software suites.

Not cheap, but not dodgy either.

MRTG might be usefull. I use it to monitor all my links. I also use it to monitor load of UPSes, temperatures, CPU loads etc. it uses SNMP. It is a little difficult to configure, but this link is usefull http://people.ee.ethz.ch/~oetiker/webtools/mrtg/
It is freeware.
