Network capture appliance upgrades for higher traffic levels

ClearSight Networks has upgraded its leading network capture appliance, the Network Time Machine (NTM). Version 7.0 of the NTM family enables network administrators to quantify voice quality on 3G mobile networks and meet the demands of increased network traffic and mobile Internet services.

NTM 7.0 captures and analyses data from audio and visual network transmissions, such as video conferencing, multimedia entertainment services, telemedicine, surveillance, live video broadcasting and video-on-demand, and makes meaningful measurements using MOS, R-values and other metrics. New features in NTM 7.0 include: support for 3G-324M, the umbrella protocol for video telephony in 3G mobile networks; recognition and support of Ethernet jumbo framing up to 64,000byte in size; and expanded support for TCP streams, a common protocol used in the transmission of network information.
