Traffic Monitoring and Restriction in Windows Server 2008

Data Circulation Capability is an important performance indicator and valuable resource for servers. Real-time monitoring and effective limitation are issues that server administrators have to consider. Windows Server 2008 as the highest version of Microsoft's server platform, how to achieve network traffic monitoring and restrictions? Here I share their experience and test the effectiveness of the test.

Execute "Start" → "Run", enter MMC to open the console 1 window. Click File → Add/Remove Snap-in to bring up the Add or Remove Units dialog box, find and select Reliability and Performance Monitor in the Available Snap-ins list, click the Add button to bring it Add to the Selected Snap-ins list and finally click OK to exit. In the left pane of the Console 1 window, expand Console Roots→ Reliability and Performance (Local)→ Monitoring Tools→ Performance Monitor. Then right-click in the blank area of ​​the chart in the middle content pane and select Add Counter to open the Add Counter Wizard window. Find "Network Interface" in the list of available counters, click " " on the right to expand the counter, find and select "Bytes Total/sec", click the "Add" button, and finally "OK" to exit. (Figure 1)

Select and double-click the counter you just added to open its property settings window at the bottom of the Performance Monitor content pane. Find the "Proportion" under the "Data" tab. "Options, select 0.001 from the drop-down list to set it to this value, and finally click "OK" to return to console 1. Click File → Save As and type the file name test to save it to your desktop. This is done based on the Network Performance Monitor and its settings have been saved as files. (Figure 2)

In order to demonstrate the network monitoring effect, the author logs in to Windows Server 2008 through the remote desktop and maps the local hard disk to Server 2008. Next, I copied a large file from the local hard disk to the disk of Server 2008. Let's take a look at the monitoring effect. As shown in Figure 3, the network traffic is suddenly upgraded. From the graph, the network traffic reaches the peak. Looking at the following values, the minimum value is about 100kB/s, the maximum value is 400kB/s, the final value is about 300kB/s, and the average value is also about 250kB/s. It can be seen that the network interface (network card) of Windows Server 2008 is running at full capacity and the network traffic is too large. (Figure 3)
