Manalyzer™ is a Local Area Network analyzer that currently works with the Apple Token Ring card and the new Apple NuBus Ethernet card.
The good news is that Manalyzer is a powerful tool for analyzing network performance. It can capture and display packets with a wide variety of filters and can do AppleTalk protocol breakdown of captured packets. A variety of displays can be generated during the capture to show network performance and help diagnose network errors. Background traffic can also be generated to see what effects it has on network performance.
The not-so-good news is that Manalyzer is only in the initial development stages. It hasn’t been rigorously tested and is unsupported. In fact, this file and the release notes are the only documentation you get.…
We are putting Manalyzer on the developer disc at this early stage since we think it can be useful to developers, particularly those doing network applications. Feel free to link me bug reports and enhancement suggestions. ( I appreciate all comments, but please remember that Manalyzer is a low priority project. )
