Counters for Finding Network Bottlenecks
Applies To: Windows Server 2003, Windows Server 2003 R2, Windows Server 2003 with SP1, Windows Server 2003 with SP2
Use the following counters to identify bottlenecked network resources:
Protocol_layer_object\Segments Received/sec
Protocol_layer_object\Segments Sent/sec
Protocol_layer_object\Frames Sent/sec
Protocol_layer_object\Frames Received/sec
Protocol_layer_object can be TCP Object, UDP Object, NetBEUI Object, NWLink IPX Object, NWLink NetBIOS Object, NWLink SPX Object, or other protocol layer performance objects. For NWLink performance objects, frame-related counters report only zeroes. Use datagram-based counters for these objects.
