A user reports that the internet seems slow on a workstation, but no other users have reported any issues. The server team confirms the servers are functioning normally. A technician suspects something specific to the user's computer is overutilizing bandwidth. Which of the following commands should the technician use to further investigate the issue?
To investigate if something specific to the user's computer is overutilizing bandwidth, the technician should use the netstat command. Netstat provides information about network connections, routing tables, interface statistics, masquerade connections, and multicast memberships. This can help in identifying unusual network activity or connections that may be using excessive bandwidth.
All netstat would do is show connections, and that would not necessarily be helpful in a situation like this. tcpdump will capture an analyze packets in real time, allowing for further troubleshooting.
