Dave, download BAT (for Free) from www.wizbang.org.uk, this will let you track the bandwidth usage per ICA or RDP session, or combined sessions ! Using a variety of counters, but getting quite accurate results, if you want to know more about the counters etc. mail me off list and I'll pull them out of the code for you. Total Bytes is total I/O traffic for the connection (incl. Send/Receive/Errors etc. etc.). This tool breaks down the info. into 4 distinct categories (CPU, I/O, Errors, Memory) and let's you do cumulative monitoring (eg. on all connections over a remote pipe).
