RE: Measuring Line Throughput

It might not be anything wrong, try tracing a large file transfer.  On my
test system all I see when I run this report is 0's.  On my production
(Imaging) system with 160 users I don't think I've seen the ethernet
utilization above .5%, though I've seen the fax line util. at 500%.  Still
this jibes with what I've seen on the network monitor at the switch (<1%.)  

I don't know if this indicates some other bottleneck (like I/O or the disk
controller) or if this is normal or just due to averaging (I run 15 min
intervals.)

YMMV

Nice tip Scott! Unfortunately, when I run this, it does not show any data,
just 5 pages of headers. Selecting from a 2 hour data collection member.
Am I doing something wrong?

Try running a Resource Interval Report/Communications Line Detail. 

Go Perform --> 3 --> 5 --> Communications Line Detail 

This will show all of your comm lines, Line utilization, and bytes or frames
transmitted and received per second.  The default interval is 15 minutes but
can be changed when you start the data collection.
