[This is an announcement for a commercial product.  In keeping with Usenet
policy, I have tried to keep it short and to minimize marketing hype.
Press 'n' if you want to skip.]

Matrix Computer Systems, Inc. announces EtherView(tm), a SunView based
network monitor.  This is a tool for network administrators and protocol
developers.  Here is a partial summary of some of its main features:

Load Profile:

Allows an administrator to monitor the load on the ethernet over extended
periods of time.  The administrator can use it to characterize load
generated by a node on the network, determine which systems and
applications generate how much of the load and how that load fluctuates
over long periods of time.


NFS Profile:

Allows an administrator to determine the load on NFS servers, the average
response time of NFS servers and the mix of type of NFS load on each of
the servers.  Users can use the data to benchmark different NFS servers,
determine which servers are overloaded, deduce the number of clients that
each server can support and evaluate the effectiveness of NFS
accelerators.

Protocol Analyser:

Users can capture packets based on source, destination, application,
protocol, bit pattern, packet size or a boolean filtering expression.  It
provides standard features such as configurable buffer size, packet
slicing and bit pattern based triggering criterion.  It does automatic
disassembly of NFS, TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, ARP and RARP packets.  Packets can
be examined in any combination of summary, hex and detail format.
