TracePlus Ethernet 5.46.000 Screenshot

TracePlus/Ethernet is a very powerful performance and capture software. Real-time statistics include bandwidth by node, protocol, and address pair. A Network dashboard displays network performance updated each second.

A history view chronicles the occurrence of specific IP events on your network. Capture packets based on type, address, size, TCP/UDP port, or data pattern. Decodes SNMP packets (all versions).

Intelligent data view formats IP user data for easy viewing. Imports capture files from other packet analyzers including UNIX and Linux OSs. Supports VLAN features of the 802.1Q/802.1P protocols.

Here are some key features of "TracePlus Ethernet":

· The Network Dashboard offers ten automobile-style gauges (five user configurable) that monitor network performance.
· The Network Dashboard contains three preset and four user defined automobile style gauges of network performance, including Packets/Second, Bytes/Second, and Utilization.
· The Bits per Second historical graph displays average throughput in bits per second over a period of two hours.
· The Packets per Second historical graph displays average throughput in bits per second at one minute intervals over a period of two hours.
· The Utilization historical graph displays a chart of average throughput in bits per second at one minute intervals over a period of two hours.
· The Size Distribution View displays a chart of average throughput in bits per second at one minute intervals over a period of two hours.
· IP Sleuth tracks down and identifies IP addresses seen on your network via WHOIS and IP netblock information.
· Ping utilities provides expanded functionality from the command-line version with Quality of Service options plus Copy and Save functionality.
· The IP Bandwidth Graph shows overall network usage by the top IP bandwidth consumers on your network.
· The IP Bandwidth View shows detailed network usage by each IP address on your network.
· The Top URLS View displays Web server performance and network load statistics for the top 200 server IP addresses seen on your network.
· The Port Activity View shows selected IP conversations that may threaten the security of your network including Trojan horse applications.
· Powerful IP Activity filtering narrows the statistical focus to specific IP subnets.
· IP Capture Wizard defines filter parameters for packet captures by answering a few questions.
· Quick Capture and Make Filter features generate filter parameters for a packet capture automatically based on an selected protocol, address, or conversation.
· Full support for networks using PPPoE for DSL connections

· History View supports over 30 different network protocols. The contents of the History View is automatically restored before each session, so you can have a running log of events on your network.
· The History View can be filtered by TCP or UDP protocol, and by local address or IP address (single or range)
· Graphical network usage display selectable from utilization, packets per second, and bytes per second.
· Powerful Network Statistics filtering narrows the statistical focus to specific protocol groups and IP subnets.
· Protocol View, Node View, MAC Addresses, and Conversations View can be sorted by any column
· Realtime network statistics include % of Bandwidth, Packets per second, Bytes per second, Broadcast packets per second, and Multicast packets per second.
· Powerful real-time packet sniffer means no waiting to see results!
