New Enterprise-Ready Release Features High-Performance Card

Walnut Creek, CA - February 3, 2004

WildPackets Inc., innovators in network analysis, announced the release of WANPeek NX v1.0 full-duplex portable WAN network analyzer. Featuring a customized, integrated WAN Analyzer Card (WAC) with support for T1/E1, ISDN, PPP, HDLC, X.25, and Frame Relay networks, WANPeek NX monitors and troubleshoots WAN links for flow, errors, and Service Level Agreement (SLA) verification.

With the introduction of WANPeek NX, WildPackets’ family of products provides true end-to-end coverage of today’s Enterprise and SMB networks. Typically deployed in a corporate or campus network where the LAN meets the WAN, WANPeek NX is ideally suited for analyzing traffic from remote locations, or from gateways where all internet connections converge.

About WANPeek NX

The WANPeek NX hardware/software solution includes the WAN Analyzer Card (WAC), and a type-2 PCMCIA card designed specifically for WAN analysis. WANPeek NX can capture from multiple WAC cards simultaneously, which is useful for tracking traffic flow on multiple segments. The analysis engine is able to capture data, decode packets, and analyze the traffic for WAN-specific events on multiple WANs simultaneously. In-line analysis provides the ability to see native WAN frames, CRC errors, and all other packets on the wire. In addition to a full range of embedded protocols, WANPeek NX decodes PPP, HDLC, X.25, and Q.921 and Q.931 for ISDN. On the Net: http://www.wildpackets.com/products/wanpeek/overview
