[olorunloba]

Will someone please help me out on how I can discover the kind of Application protocol that ar bieng used by my clients, and the percentage of usage of these protocols in relation to the total bandwidth given to the client.

nGenius Real Time Monitor along with a NAM module or a Switch Probe can be used for this.

You can also check out NetFlow http://www.cisco.com/go/netflow to get the Application data. The data is not as comprehensive as RMON, but if you have a large network, it is cheaper than purchasing a ton of probes.
