Interface allows operations staff to monitor performance of individual network interfaces, packet routing paths, remote process and server availability, and traffic levels for multicast and point-to-point conversations.

Example uses:

• ensure two processes communicate over TCP/IP during trading hours
• ensure a secondary network route is switched back to the primary once a fault has been rectified
• ensure a remote exchange server is listening on a specified port
• alert when price updates stop on a multicast group
• detect multicast storms developing

Interface provides

• per physical or virtual network interface: name, address, status, collisions, send/receive message rates, errors and packet drops, card speed, duplex mode
• per TCP/IP conversation: end points, send and receive queues, state, data rates and time since last update
• state of a remote server and the time taken for a test message to propagate there and back
• listening state of an application on a remote server
• hops of a network path to a specified host, showing path name, turnaround times and packet loss per hop
• multicast and broadcast data rates and time since last update
• top X multicast groups in terms of data rates
