Re: Ehternet monitoring

If you could find crude methods satisfactory (which is all you need to
detect excessive broadcasting), just use tcpdump and see which host goes
flying by the most; then filter the traffic for that particular host to
look at it in more detail.  That should do it for you quite nicely as a
dominate machine on the network is extremely obvious.

Hope that was helpful
