QUESTION POSED ON: 20 February 2004
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. It comes and goes at random lasting anywhere from two minutes 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 and IP protocols active. We are also a part of Trust in an Active Directory.
