NMS for Network Traffic
The Nimsoft Monitoring Solution (NMS) for Network Traffic can inspect Ethernet packets to reveal the type of protocol that they are carrying.
This probe is able to show bandwidth usage between source and destination addresses, broken down by protocol.

Coverage of Network Traffic by Protocol
Monitoring traffic in terms of its volume is very useful for performance and capacity planning purposes. At times, it is also useful to understand the type of traffic that is flowing through the network. In the event of an unexpected increase in traffic, it can be very helpful to analyze the traffic by protocol type, e.g. IP, ARP, RARP, and IPX, and be able to compare to previous analysis data.
NMS for Network Traffic can inspect Ethernet packets to reveal the type of protocol that they are carrying. This solution is able to show bandwidth usage between source and destination addresses, broken down by protocol.
With NMS, it is possible to set up various profiles to aggregate source and destination addresses in to networks or subsets of networks. These profiles can be separately monitored with different threshold values for alerting purposes.
The probe comes predefined with a set of system counters, such as all Ethernet traffic or all TCP/IP traffic. All the data from gathered can be passed to the NMS service management console for inclusion in performance trending reports.
