NetPacket::Ethernet is a Perl module to assemble and disassemble ethernet packets.

SYNOPSIS

use NetPacket::Ethernet;

$eth_obj = NetPacket::Ethernet->decode($raw_pkt);
$eth_pkt = NetPacket::Ethernet->encode(params...); # Not implemented
$eth_data = NetPacket::Ethernet::strip($raw_pkt);

NetPacket::Ethernet provides a set of routines for assembling and disassembling packets using the Ethernet protocol.

NetMinder Ethernet makes it easy to quickly identify security risks and bandwidth bottlenecks.

Transform your computer into a powerful Ethernet network analyzer. NetMinder Ethernet captures and decodes packet data as it moves through the network, quickly pinpointing and alerting you to security issues and network problems that could otherwise take hours or even days to resolve.

Use NetMinder Ethernet to find security issues, network conflicts, and traffic bottlenecks which can only be discovered using a low-level protocol analysis tool.

Features include packet filtering, post-filtering, error detection, triggering, traffic-level alarms and security alerts.

NetMinder Ethernet decodes a wide range of protocol types including TCP/IP, NetBIOS, Spanning Tree, NetWare, DECnet, XNS, AppleTalk, VINES and more. High performance data capture and comprehensive analysis capabilities make NetMinder Ethernet the program of choice for network managers, engineers, designers, and LAN product developers who need to analyze Ethernet networks. Since NetMinder Ethernet is software-only, it is available at a fraction of the cost of hardware-based network analyzers.

Here are some key features of "NetMinder Ethernet":

· Network Security
· Wireless Networking
· Filters
· Triggers
· Customize Data Collection

LaCie Ethernet Disk contains the updated drivers for the LaCie Ethernet Disk mini.
Apply this to get the latest functionalities and fixes.

Whats New in This Release:

· Compatibility with Apples Bonjour
· Possibility to rename the share
· Read-Write access in HFS+ files system format
· WINS servers compatible.

To access the shared devices over Internet or local network there is no need to purchase additional hardware devices. USB over Ethernet is completely software solution! And it uses hardware of your computer only. USB over Ethernet allows both to share USB device and connect shared devices remotely. To share the device you just need to install this program both on the computer where your USB device is plugged in and on the PC where you are going to use USB device remotely. USB over Ethernet is easy to install and use. It supports a wide range of USB devices. The program does not require any special knowledge and installs easily right out of the box.

Although USB to Ethernet adaptors are cheap and plentiful, Mac OS X drivers are not.

USB-to-Ethernet offers you USB to Ethernet Adaptor Drivers.
There are two basic catagories of USB-To-Ethernet adaptors:
· USB 1.1 devices that use a Pegasus driver.
· USB 2.0 devices that use a AX8817x driver (or its successor, the AX88772).


Each disk image includes an installer for Panther or Tiger, and a "src" folder containing the corresponding xCode projects.

Installation

Download and mount the appropriate driver disk image listed above, run the corresponding installer for Panther or Tiger, and then restart your system as suggested. The Installer will ask you to authenticate so it can place the corresponding driver in "/System/Library/Extensions/" with the correct file permisions to load as a kernel extension.

Next, plug-in your Ethernet adaptor with a live Ethernet cable attached. When you open the Network Preferences panel, it should inform you that a new port has appeared and ask if you want to enable it. Enable the new port and apply your network settings. Thats it.

Each driver is pre-configured to recognize a handfull of common devices. If your device does not appear to be recognized by the driver, you might have to add it to the Info.plist file, which is located inside the USBPegasusEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext directory. You can use the System Profiler or USBProber tool to find the corresponding Product ID and Vendor ID.

To uninstall the driver, make sure any USB adaptors are disconnected, and then drag the corresponding driver in /System/Library/Extensions/ USBPegaususEthernet.kext or USBAx8817x.kext to the trash. You may need to authenticate that you have administrator privileges.

USB 1.1 Performance

The Pegasus chipset provides a USB 1.1 compatible implementation which could be a concern for some users. USB 1.1 runs at 1.5 Mbps (low speed) or 12 Mbps (full speed). For best performance, its important to isolate any low speed devices on a separate bus. Mice and keyboards often run at low speed.

Using the Link Rate tool in IPNetMonitorX, I measured the link rate to another device on my LAN as 6 Mbps. The built-in Ethernet on my 12" PBG4 reported 44 Mpbs. When I measured the link rate to the next hop router through my cable modem, it reported 1 mbps. It didnt make any difference whether I used Ethernet built-in or the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor. Finally, I downloaded a 2.2 MB file to compare the throughput using the Monitor tool.

Both downloads took 5 seconds, but Ethernet built-in reached a peak rate of 589 KBps versus 579 kBps. Repeating the experiment several times produced similar results. Ethernet built-in might be 1-2% faster, but performance was clearly limited by the speed of my cable modem (Your Mileage May Vary).

USB 2.0 Performance

The AX8817x chip set provides a USB 2.0 compatible implementation which runs at up to 480 Mbps (high speed), so it should be possible to keep up with 100 Mbps fast ethernet as long as there are no other slower devices on the same bus. To test this I copied a 64.8 MB music file to my PBG4 laptop connected through a LinkSys USB200M Ethernet Adaptor (en3) and compared this to the same file transfer using Built-in Ethernet (en0).

Both transfers reached 10 MBps (80-90 Mbps) and took about 10 seconds. I repeated the test in the other direction.

While the USB-To-Ethernet adaptor was slightly slower, at 80 Mbps there was little noticeable difference. Files moved quickly from one system to another via 100 Mbps fast Ethernet. Copying the same file using AirPort wireless took 50-90 seconds.

Stability

While other USB-To-Ethernet drivers are reported to be buggy, I havent encountered any stability problems to date. The adaptor turns off when the computer goes to sleep and comes back on when the computer awakes. It does not support "Wake On LAN" at this time.

Wrap Up

This USB-To-Ethernet Adaptor combination could be an attractive solution for a Mac Mini, or old iBook used as an Internet gateway or server. Im particularly fond of using old laptops as servers since they are compact, quiet, use little energy, and include their own battery backup.
