Integrated portable and distributed analysis
OptiView Protocol Expert Plus provides real time traffic generation and remote integration with other installations of Protocol Expert Plus or OptiView Link Analyzers. Unlike other distributed analysis platforms that use a console-agent architecture, OptiView Protocol Expert Plus uses a unique peer-to-peer architecture to conduct distributed monitoring and packet capture between peers. Network engineers in the field can collaborate with peers in the data center while troubleshooting network problems in the field.

Sophisticated Traffic Generator reveals hidden problems
When network utilization is low, bandwidth and resources can mask some network problems. OptiView Protocol Expert Plus generates traffic by replaying captured data streams to review hidden problems before applications are deployed. Predefined protocol templates are available for quick traffic pattern creation. Custom packets can also be created from scratch, or by editing captured packets. For precise inter-packet time gap or utilization control to simulate live traffic, a packet stream can be loaded onto the OptiView Link Analyzer hardware utilizing the line-rate traffic generation feature in its ASIC based interface.
