Monitoring bandwidth usage over time will help the network administrator understand if the infrastructure can handle the current traffic load and pinpoint times when bottlenecks occur. Bandwidth usage statistics will show how much of the network's capacity is being utilized, and if it regularly approaches or exceeds its limits, this could explain the slow performance issues experienced by users. While latency, jitter, and error rate metrics are also important for overall network performance, they do not directly measure the data-carrying capacity of the network, which is the focus of this particular investigation.
