P PROBE, UTILITIES, Alpha & VAX Ethernet monitor / statistics / capture / playback  M  Probe is a network monitoring tool which allows the real-time capture and/or M  graphical display of Ethernet traffic activity and the tabular formatting of (  previously collected frame and/or data.    The main features are:   H  o  Extensive user-specified attributes allow fine-grained filtering andI     enhanced presentation of raw or computed traffic data. Key attributes      are dynamically modifiable.   J  o  Sampling can be performed unattended (in batch for example) by settingI     a cycle of alternating collection and sleep intervals. Statistics are      produced for every cycle.   G  o  Automatic and static symbolic representation of Ethernet addresses.   C  o  Optional (complete or partial) frame data capture and playback.   1  o  Automatic line counters (collision) tracking.   I  o  Runs on both VAX and Alpha/AXP. Heavily speed-optimized high-priority L     multi-process MACRO32 user-mode code (assembled on VAX, compiled on AXP)2     for capture/display. Playback program in VAXC.  L  Please consult the files AAREADME.* and the help documentation for details.    Complete source code included.   ?  Provided executables linked on VAX/VMS 5.5-2 and Alpha/VMS 6.2   F  This is release 2.3B.
