It is NOT a packet capture program. It reads +output dump files in the formats of several popular packet capturing +programs: tcpdump, snoop, etherpeek, and netm + +For each connection, it keeps track of elapsed time, bytes/segments +sent and received, retransmissions, round trip times, window +advertisements, throughput, etc. Its output format ranges from +Simple to Long to Very Detailed. + +It can also produce three different types of graphs, as follows: + + Time Sequence Graph + This is the format that Tim Shepard started using at MIT some + years ago. It shows segments sent and ACKs returned as a + function of time. + Instantaneous Throughput + This format shows the instantaneous (averaged over a few + segments) throughput of the connection as a function of time. + Round Trip Times + This format shows the round trip times for the ACKs as a + function of time. + +The graphs produced are viewable only by Tim Shepard's wonderful xplot. |
