Use this Knowledge Script to monitor the rate of bytes transferred to and from the target computer. Because the transfer rate can vary dramatically depending on the activity being performed, you can click the Advanced tab and set the number of consecutive occurrences to a value greater than 1 to filter out insignificant spikes. The detail message includes the number of bytes sent and received per second.
Windows 2003 Server or later
