    Hi

    I am looking for a tool allowing to get periodically
    the network load of some machines on a local area network
    (Linux and Solaris 8), and the amount of information
    between clients and servers of my distributed application.

    The aim is to gather enough information to optimize
    the distribution of my processes over the network,
    to know which clients/servers are the most bandwith
    consuming in runtime conditons, and so on ...

    I tried netstat, but this does not give me full
    satisfaction, and the result is different on Linux
    and Solaris.

    Thanks for any advice !

    Nicolas
