JDSU Adds Capture/Decode Features for 10 Gbps Ethernet Testing
JDSU has added a T-BERD/MTS capture/decode feature set to capture traffic on 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps Ethernet interfaces, J-Mentor utilizes standard .pcap formatted capture files to identify common problems that impact SLAs such as half duplex ports, excessive TCP retransmissions and top IP talkers that may excessively use network bandwidth.
JDSU said its J-Mentor expedites Carrier Ethernet troubleshooting in the network by building on the capture/decode feature set. Traditionally, a technician with advanced IP troubleshooting skill is dispatched to a location with test equipment and a PC for analysis in order to resolve a problem. With JDSU capture/decode, the same technician can perform a packet capture and then analyze the file on the test set itself. http://www.jdsu.com

You just read about JDSU. One of the companies whose work it now carries:
Network Instruments built Network and application performance monitoring. What became of it?
Network Instruments brought Network and application performance monitoring to Networking. That work was distinctive enough to lead to its acquisition by JDSU for US$200M. The standalone name now passes into the archive — but the team and technology continue inside JDSU today. One of 430 names here whose work outlived the company.
You just read about Ethernet. Here is what it replaced:
Token Ring (802.5) served 1985–2000. What ultimately replaced it?
Token Ring (802.5) stations passed a small 'token' frame around a logical ring; only the token-holder could transmit, giving deterministic, collision-free access at the cost of ring-management overhead. Its job passed to Ethernet — but the problem it solved, and the ideas it proved, live on in what replaced it. The standard rests here in the archive. One of 198 technologies here that opened a door and then held it for the next.
