You're describing two different problems.
Problem One is network utilization on a LAN for a particular application,
which you can easily monitor by attaching a packet monitoring device on a port
that mirrors your application server. That will measure the data in/data out
at the focal point. A packet capture may indicate the nature of any response
time problems from a TCP perspective, too, if you're using Network Associates'
Sniffer Pro.
Problem Two is network response time on a LAN for a particular application.
The tool I know of is CompuWare's EcoProfiler, which puts an agent on both the
server and the client and then measures application response including network
latency, host response, and client response times. The caveat is that
EcoProfiler is meant to be used in a sterile (that is, non-production or
development) environment, which removes any other variables (network load,
server contention, etc.) from the equation. From a presentation perspective,
it give you bounce charts and CSV-formatted sheets with the breakdown of
client, network, and server latency.
