StormFinder, stormfinder.exe Version 1.0, February 2009 Software by Carsten Schmidt If you like this software, please consider donating.

Stormfinder is a little utility that requests non-unicast packet statistics from all interfaces of a network device using SNMP. After requesting the number of incoming NU-packets (i.e. broadcasts and multicasts) it does so again after 10 seconds and calculates the difference. Excessively high numbers of NU-packets in this time interval indicate a network loop which should be investigated. In the first column of the table, the OID is shown where the number after the last dot is the interface number. Simply enter the IP address and SNMP community of your device into the corresponding fields and click on "Check Now". After ten seconds or so you will see the results in the "Delta"-column of the table. Check for excessive NU-packets. Please note! SNMP is using UDP and a loop in the network is causing many packets to be delayed or to get lost. Therefore, under certain circumstances this software may not yield the desired results.
