- Our NuevoTech TurboStar localtalk hubs [now made by Focus]
- come with an in-band monitoring capability that gives a
- thermometer view of the current network load. It occurred
- to us that it would be nice to produce network use graphs
- if only we could save the results of repetitive polls to
- a file. We tried capturing a few thousand "net load"
- response packets on our network analyzer and plotting
- the data and, indeed, it seems to work.
-
- Using a network analyzer to capture the polls is time
- consuming and inefficient. I'm hoping that this idea is
- so obvious that someone has already written a program
- to do it. Focus tech support wasn't aware of anything
- beyond the simple Mac program they pass out with the product
- that gives the above mentioned thermometer display. If
- anyone has done anything with the Focus in-band monitoring
- capability, I'd like to hear about it.

- Thanks...
