vmehta asks: "I was recently put in a situation where I am trying to help a troubled network with many students accessing it. There are issues with broadcast packets and random outages which seem to be plaguing the network. What tools and methods are the best practice when trying to use Linux and Open Source to analyze and fix a network?"

Almost any time I see this, its some random box flooding the network. Just go to your switches...the light that is on solid continuously will point you in the right direction.
