Subject: High Speed Protocol Analyser Newsgroups: eunet.newprod,uk.support,comp.protocols.nfs,bit.listserv.infonets,bit.listserv. jnet-l,bit.listserv.ibm-nets,biz.config,news.software.nntp Keywords: Network Protocol Protocol-analyser TSH have just announced a new protocol analyser which solves a number of problems related to the analysis of high-speed data lines. The software runs on a 33MHz 80386 portable PC and drives a 256-colour super-VGA 9" CRT. External VGA and EGA monitors with resolutions up to 1024x768 can also be driven, however. The analyser itself operates at speeds from 110 b/s to 4.5 Mb/s and interprets HDLC, X.25, SNA and DPNSS among other protocols. A sophisticated windowing system allows the user to monitor real-time traffic whilst simultaneously browsing through buffer data. The interfaces available include RS-232, X.21, V.35, V.36, G.703 co-ax at 2 Mbit/sec (the analyser monitors unframed at this speed), and a G.704 timeslot extractor.
