A managed switch that is SNMP capable gives you detailed bandwith info on
each port, so you will see a large spike if someone is using an inordinate
amount of bandwidth. They are more expensive, but Edgewater Networks, Linksys SMB
line and the Cisco Express series are all relatively inexpensive. You can
also get alerts if there is a duplex mismatch, or a port is taking
errors. Well worth the extra money IMO
