Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] High broadcast traffic

[joans4nz <joans4nz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm a network administrator in my new job and when I ran Wireshark I saw to much ARP traffic level and Ntop show 86% broadcast traffic to.

There are DHCP server and 350 Windows stations. My boss dont know nothing about networks and I propose to my boss buy a layer 3 switch and create  vlans to reduce the broadcast traffic levels, but my boss ask what must be the normal levels of broadcast traffic in the LAN network. I have search in google and I can't find a good response to that question, I feel bad without a good answer and reference.

Could any in the list help me please?

Thanks for your time and excuse my english.
