Table 1-1. Key Differences in <strong>Sniffer</strong> <strong>Adaptive</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> for InfiniStream<br />

Console Users<br />

Feature Description<br />

Local Capture Buffer • The InfiniStream Console connects to remote capture interfaces on<br />

multiple independent InfiniStream appliances.<br />

• <strong>Sniffer</strong> <strong>Adaptive</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> works with a single local<br />

Ethernet network interface. The Navigation Panel only lists the local<br />

PC – you can’t add additional remote devices. The local device is<br />

identified both by its Windows system name and the loopback IP<br />

address of 127.0.0.1.<br />

Capture • In the InfiniStream model, capture is “always on,” persistently<br />

streaming data to vast packet stores spanning multiple disks/array.<br />

• <strong>Sniffer</strong> <strong>Adaptive</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> captures data on demand –<br />

similar to <strong>Sniffer</strong> Portable/Global, packets are only available after<br />

you’ve started capture manually.<br />

Monitoring Statistics • In the InfiniStream model, the InfiniStream appliance tabulates<br />

RMON statistics persistently.<br />

• <strong>Sniffer</strong> <strong>Adaptive</strong> <strong>Application</strong> <strong>Analyzer</strong> only tabulates RMON statistics<br />

once you’ve opened the local network interface by double-clicking<br />

its entry in the Navigation Panel at the left of the Quick Select<br />

window. Once monitoring begins, new statistics are available for<br />

display in 15 second buckets – you can select a time window from<br />

the Graph Panel as you normally would.<br />
