[mod.computers.vax] Ethernet model./cap. plan.tools

This looks to be the place to ask this, if not please tell me where.

For someone who is off-line.

Are there any modelling / capacity planning programs for Ethernet
(primarily VAX and uVAX)??
We are just installing our VAX (replacing DEC-20) and some people are already
kicking around ideas of Etherneting it to some uVAXen (and possibly PC-ish
systems).  And the systems manager wondered if there were any tools for
determining how traffic would change when hanging various configurations of
other systems (gateways to other facilities, servers, etc ...) on the Ethernet.
(DEC has apparently told him to "rent" a couple of DEC's specialists...)

Please respond directly.
Thanks,
