Finisar Surveyor Manuale Utente

Glossary-3

The time required to establish a session with an application protocol, measured in 

milliseconds. Surveyor tracks average time, the shortest time, and the longest time 

required for connections to a protocol over the monitored network segment.

Architecture for Voice, Video and Integrated Data. Cisco’s architecture for support-

ing integrated multimedia communications.

For transmission from Surveyor, a flood of frames sent at the maximum speed of 

the network.

A counter that records events where the reporting Ring Station encounters signal 

transition or signal error on the Token Ring physical medium. 

For transmission from Surveyor, a pause between a set of packets sent at the maxi-

mum network speed and another set of packets sent at the maximum network speed.

The processing of receiving frames from the network and storing them in the Sur-

veyor capture buffer.

The DRAM memory in analyzer cards (or system memory on an NDIS host) that 

stores packets captured from the network.

File used to store frames captured from the network. A capture file must be given a 

name with an extension of .cap. Captured frames are not automatically stored in a 

file - the contents of the capture buffer must be saved using the Save or Save As 

options.

A set of conditions that determine the frames to be captured and how the captured 

frames are counted. The capture filter consists of programming-like statements that 

set variables and specify conditions and actions for the capture of frames.

A window for defining capture filters.
