Technical Data OptiView ® Protocol Expert Real time expert analysis for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks. Protocol analysis is an essential technology for IT organizations for troubleshooting application communications and network performance. Packet level visibility provides the most comprehensive information to solve end-user issues, isolate virus activity on the network, confirm infrastructure configurations, or baseline business transaction behavior. Integration with the OptiView Link Analyzer and XLink Analyzer assures high speed network managers that packet capture performance will support fast and efficient problem resolution. OptiView Protocol Expert, Link Analyzer and XLink Analyzer constitute a powerful solution to solve network and application challenges.

OptiView Protocol Expert Professional is a scalable protocol analysis and network monitoring software solution for network support and application performance management. Real-time application traffic monitoring provides statistics and expert problem recognition at all seven layers of the OSI model. For in-depth analysis and troubleshooting, Protocol Expert captures network packets then decodes the communications between clients, servers and network devices, decreasing problem resolution time and increasing your understanding of network and application behavior. Following TCP sessions and communication streams is easy with Protocol Expert’s single click filtering and application bounce chart graphical display. OptiView Protocol Expert Plus is the same software package as above, plus adds traffic generation and peer-to-peer (P2P) controls for other installations of OptiView Protocol Expert Plus and OptiView Link Analyzer. The unique P2P capabilities give IT professionals a collaborative advantage when troubleshooting network or application issues across corporate locations. Security conscious organizations will appreciate the AAA security available in Protocol Expert for assurance that this powerful application is used appropriately. Voice over IP Option helps you ensure Quality of Service (QoS) for this mission- critical application. While other protocol analyzers provide only VoIP decodes, OptiView Protocol Expert actually decodes and tracks packets on a call-by-call basis while measuring important characteristics such as jitter, dropped packets, set-up and latency. These measurements then go into a mean opinion score (MOS) calculation for each call. If degradation of call quality does become an issue, IT staff can set up alerts for notification before end users are impacted. By measuring call quality at different locations on the network, IT staff can isolate network segments that need reconfiguration or upgrading.

OptiView® Protocol Expert
Real time expert analysis for 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks.
Protocol analysis is an essential
technology for IT organizations
for troubleshooting application
communications and network
performance. Packet level visibility
provides the most comprehensive
information to solve end-user
issues, isolate virus activity on the
network, confirm infrastructure
configurations, or baseline business
transaction behavior. Integration
with the OptiView Link Analyzer
and XLink Analyzer assures high
speed network managers that
packet capture performance will
support fast and efficient problem
resolution.
OptiView Protocol Expert, Link
Analyzer and XLink Analyzer
constitute a powerful solution
to solve network and application
challenges. As a vendor and partner,
Fluke Networks can ensure world-class
support, training and a long-term
relationship that won’t let you down.
OptiView Protocol Expert Professional is
a scalable protocol analysis and network
monitoring software solution for network
support and application performance
management. Real-time application traffic
monitoring provides statistics and expert
problem recognition at all seven layers
of the OSI model. For in-depth analysis
and troubleshooting, Protocol Expert
captures network packets then decodes
the communications between clients,
servers and network devices, decreasing
problem resolution time and increasing your
understanding of network and application
behavior. Following TCP sessions and
communication streams is easy with Protocol
Expert’s single click filtering and application
bounce chart graphical display.
OptiView Protocol Expert Plus is the
same software package as above, plus
adds traffic generation and peer-to-peer
(P2P) controls for other installations of
OptiView Protocol Expert Plus and OptiView
Link Analyzer. The unique P2P capabilities
give IT professionals a collaborative
advantage when troubleshooting network
or application issues across corporate
locations. Security conscious organizations
will appreciate the AAA security available
in Protocol Expert for assurance that this
powerful application is used appropriately.
Voice over IP Option helps you ensure
Quality of Service (QoS) for this mission-
critical application. While other protocol
analyzers provide only VoIP decodes,
OptiView Protocol Expert actually decodes
and tracks packets on a call-by-call basis
while measuring important characteristics
such as jitter, dropped packets, set-up and
latency. These measurements then go into
a mean opinion score (MOS) calculation
for each call. If degradation of call quality
does become an issue, IT staff can set up

are impacted. By measuring call quality at
different locations on the network, IT staff
can isolate network segments that need
