I've got 4 servers running several instances (about 12) of an application. This application receives information from and external source and uploads it to a remote SQL Server database (the databases are then viewed by our customers through a web interface).
The problem is that recently, and as we've been adding more customers i.e. more application instances, our local area network and Internet connection appear to have slowed down - I expected this to happen, but not to the level that it has done so (the data exchanged, for the most part, should be bytes).
What I want to do is monitor all LAN traffic to the SQL Server's domain to see exactly how much information (size and frequency) is being exchanged between our servers and the remote SQL server.
So, finally, is there a network-monitoring tool that will show me this kind of information, for example:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
- Timestamp Source Dest Size Etc. Etc. Etc.

I've tried the demo of Colasoft's Capsa - Network Analyzer, but it only seems to give me this sort of information for the local machine (perhaps I have not configured it correctly).
Any help is most appreciated.
Thanks,
Andrew.
