Quickly and easily identify top talkers, multicasters and broadcasters or select top conversations to determine which hosts may be over utilizing resource bandwidth.  Determine who is using server bandwidth by viewing top conversations to a single host.




Analyze protocol mix to identify top protocols being used and also discover unwanted and custom protocols and see which protocols are being used by each host.

Application traffic analysis
Automatically discover all protocols and sub protocols from the MAC layer to the application layer. This enables IT staff to identify applications utilizing link bandwidth including those that use dynamically assigned port numbers to see and validate the impact of applications on bandwidth usage and also identify to use of illicit applications.

Perform application analysis in real-time on Gigabit links and determine the specific endpoints (server, host) using that application. Plus, perform a layer 3 or layer 2 trace route to identify the switch or router interface to which the endpoint is connected for each application.  Differentiate between specific audio, video, image, and data applications, and show the level of bandwidth usage of each, including:

• HTTP traffic to: database, application, audio, image, text, video, x-world (VRML)
• HTTP applications to 58 applications: such as Lotus® Notes, Microsoft® Word, RealAudio®, Adobe®, Liquid Audio, etc.
• RealNetworks® RDT into audio, video, data
• RTSP into embedded media and session control
• VoIP
