Network Monitoring Appliance Looks Below 1 Microsecond

eweekhickins writes "Corvil has unveiled a new tool to help network managers cope with increasing pressure to improve performance. This appliance, from the Dublin-based company (with backing from Cisco), passively monitors traffic across networks in segments below 1 microsecond in length and correlates monitoring data with remote appliances and gives a complete picture of latency, jitter, packet loss and other phenomena that affect network and application performance. Corvil CEO Donal Byrne noted that 'If you can drop a millisecond [of latency] off, you're a hero.'"

sorry if I sound stupid. It seems like greak to me.

I did of Course mean Greek.
And that I was "used to" Wireshark.

FYI, my Greek is much worse, than my first language, English. It is even worse than French and Russian, two other languages I can speak to varying proficiency.
However, sir, I am very tired.
At the end of a long day, it is not unusual to think in straight lines while typing nonsense.
Moreover, thank you kindly sire, for asking God to help me;
I needed some guidance to help me past morons like you.

That's why I only attend LAN parties in the vacuum of outer space.

Re:Drop a millisecond

You can't drop below 1ms because of the latency implied by the network equipments (just to go through their hardware takes a few milliseconds - not to mention stateful equipment such as firewalls or load balancers, etc.)

Here's a nickel, kid, go buy yourself a real firewall.
