If you attached the Fluke to a switched port then it will only see network traffic destined to the device on that port and multicast/broadcast traffic.
It would seem than that your broadcast traffic is 0.8% of your available bandwidth, 80% of your 1% utilization. That seems reasonable, I'd look elsewhere for the problem. One option if your equipment supports it would be to span the vlan traffic to a port and plug the fluke into the spanned port. Depending on you network design you still may only see a subset of your traffic.

Recently we found that LAN is getting slower and I used Fluke One Touch Network Assistant to check the health of network. And it gave me the following. Utilization 1% Error 0 % Collision 0% Broadcast 80 % IP 48% Station >250 % Do you think the fluke output indicate that our network got problem? The broadcast portion is quite high and I tried to find out which pc contribute to the broadcast, it gave me PC-A 6% PC-B 6& PC-C 6% PC-D 6% PC-E 6% PC-F 6% PC-G 6% PC-H 6% PC-I 6% All the PC that listed are installed with RCS software, when we uninstalled RCS from the PC, the PC's broadcast will be gone. Why RCS caused the broadcast, I am not sure whether it is the cause of our network slowness or not. Any idea?
