Net2Net Corp, Hudson, Massachusetts is claiming the first Asynchronous Transfer Mode analyzer that is capable of both Asynchronous Mode analysis and management. For the new system, the company has added a Simple Network Management Protocol agent to its existing CellBlaster analyser, enabling Simple Network Management Protocol-based management systems to display it as a network entity. The company eventually wants to pitch CellBlaster as a full-scale Asynchronous Transfer Mode probe, by adding Remote Monitoring support, through the ATM Forum’s ATM Monitoring/ATM Circuit Steering consortium, which is attempting to define a Management Information Base for Asynchronous Mode Remote Monitoring. No prices were given for the enhanced CellBlaster.
