No software, no, but a generally recommended solution is to improve the
sysadmin-user interface using a good bottle of single malt Scotch.

Yes and no. There are tools like packet sniffers and network
management protocol, but if you don't already know about them,
it's not likely you would know how to use them without alot
of research. If you have a competent person running the network,
let them worry about it.

He could just be using the same bandwidth more efficiently, like
using compression.
