Short: SANA-II network device statistics monitor Author: mag@sysgo.de (Marius Groeger) Uploader: groeger goofy zdv uni-mainz de (Marius Groeger) Type: comm/net Version: 37.11 Replaces: SANA2Meter37.9.lha Requires: some SANA-II device Architecture: m68k-amigaos Kurz: Statistik-Monitor für SANA-II Netzwerk-Treiber SANA2Meter - Statistics monitor for SANA-II compliant network devices (C) Copyright 1996 Marius Gröger All Rights Reserved. | NEWS! | | For users who don't have or dislike gtlayout.library the package includes | now a version which has been statically linked with the gtlayout code and | thus doesn't need the shared library. Penalty for this independence is an | about four times larger executable size. SANA2Meter is a simple tool that displays the network device statistics of any SANA-II network device. The set of displayable values include static parameters such as hardware type, MTU, speed in bits per second as well as dynamic values such as number of sent and received packets and error counters. In addition, SANA2Meter is able to display up to 20 device special statistics using generic code for the inquiry. For more experienced users and network administrators the packet type tracking function may come in handy. By means of this feature the user can keep track of one or more particular packet types. Last but not least, on highly networked systems such as gateways or bridges or servers the system administrator might like SANA2Meter's ability to display statistics of any number of network interfaces simultaneously. All dynamic statistics are updated periodically. The program can be called from both CLI and Workbench. A great lot of values, including the set of displayed statistics, refresh time, window position, public screen, and font can easily be customized by CLI arguments, tooltypes, and menu selection. The current setting may be saved to the tooltype list from the GUI or to a ASCII configuration file. SANA2Meter can be used with any SANA-II compliant network device including popular SLIP or PPP devices used to connect to an internet provider service. You should install this software package by using the supplied Installer script. Please read also the supplied AmigaGuide document to obtain further information about installation and usage.

Earlier releases of SANA2Meter failed to operate accurately due to a bug in gadtools lower than 40.1 * loosing track of some values (most notably packet type tracking information) will terminate their display Release 37.2 * packet type tracking Initial Release 37.1 * initial release --------------------------------------------------------------------------- This package is Freeware, but not in the public domain.
