It knows about the format of IP, XNS and ISO packets and can be used to trace packets that match a particular pattern. A nice feature is the ability to use local host names instead of Ethernet addresses. It can also collect statistics, draw usage graphs, generate traffic, and test the connectivity of the network. We saw a demonstration the other day and liked it a lot, not least because it tracked down a long-standing mysterious bug very quickly! In fact we liked it so much we're going to buy one. As a relatively new product, it is only available in the UK at present. For further information contact...
