Are you sure skype is your problem? I would doubt it because much of the bandwidth on skype would be from a video conversation, and if bandwidth is low then the video frames would be too slow to have any meaningful video chat.
 
I think that transfering a continous large file (which would cause the network to slow down) is not the same as transmitting video frames. Each frame is like a small file therefore it's like transfering many small files.
 
What made you conclude it's skype?

How can one manage the Skype Traffic in a Network - considering its now a necessary evil ( a vital business tool and also a bandwidth gazzler).
Any tools out there available for management.
 
Thanks
