NetMetrix is a distributed client/server monitoring and analysis application suite for Ethernet, Token Ring and FDDI networks. An Internetwork Monitor shows end-to-end connectivity, giving a clear image of traffic patterns on a multi-segment network. Load Monitor and NFS Monitor provide extensive traffic statistics and co-relational analysis in a wide variety of graphs and tables. The NFS Monitor gives client/server load, server performance, composition of writes, reads, etc., by client or server. The Protocol

Analyzer captures and fully decodes packets of 100+ protocols (including TCP/IP and SNMP, DECnet, DEC LAT, AppleTalk, SNA, XNS, Novell, OSI and Banyan). The Traffic Generator can simulate load and test protocol implementations.

Xwindows, RMON and a floating license allow access to the toolset across gateways and routers. The NetMetrix tools complement the Solstice SunNet Manager platform with extensive monitoring and analysis capabilities, resulting in a complete management solution. You can click on a network element in Solstice SunNet Manager to bring up NetMetrix across bridges, routers, gateways or across a WAN link. Or you can trigger Solstice SunNet Manager to start NetMetrix automatically when utilization gets too high or a bridge/router is near capacity, etc. NetMetrix can be used to validate various settings and alarms in Solstice SunNet Manager . This product is Solstice SunNet Manager certified.
