Path Analysis
App
Path Analysis traces the connection points,
including intermediate routers and switches,
between the EtherScope nXG and a destination
URL or IP address. You can use Path Analysis to
identify issues such as overloaded interfaces,
overloaded device resources, and interface
errors. It also shows how devices within your
network (and off-net devices) are connected to
each other along a path.
All switches are pre-discovered through SNMP
queries. When the measurement is complete,
EtherScope shows the number of hops to the
destination device. A maximum of 30 hops can
be reported.
