WINNER: ClearSight Analyzer for Gigabit Networks. ClearSight Networks, (800) 825-7563, (650) 358-9555. www.clearsightnet.com
Clearsight Networks (formerly AppDancer) kicked some serious gigabutt this past year. Its newly redesigned and intuitive interface zeroed in on application-specific network traffic and effortlessly drew our attention to errors. The device handled our full-wire-speed gigabit testing and digested TCP, VoIP and streaming media flows with nary a hiccup. But what really stands out is the tool's ability to deliver us from end users' not-always-accurate descriptions of what went wrong by reproducing network conversations exactly, complete with jitter and delay.
