LinkFerret-Remote is an efficient, easy to use, low cost, high performance Ethernet/802.11 monitoring tool. Network admins may use it in scripts to periodically sample network traffic. Non-technical personnel can capture files and automatically forward results. It can even be invoked by other programs.

Its ability to function in environments that many popular monitoring tools do not support, such as 802.11 or on multiprocessor platforms, make it a good transitional tool. Data can be captured using the advanced LinkFerret technology and stored in a trace file to be examined off-line with other protocol analyzers.
