Performance Vision v2.9?
Multiple Improvements!
New features Ease of Use
Performance Vision
Workflow Drill-Down for TCP Conversations & Events
Improved Data Presentation
Tops Reorganization: Easy access to most active elements
Version 2.5 Version 2.9
Performance Vision
Conversations
Flow Detail
TCP Events
Improved Data Presentation
Workflow Drill-Down for TCP Conversations & Events
Performance Vision Improved Filtering Options
Advanced Filters, Search Flows
Without Payload Without VLAN tag Identified as Unilateral flows Without transactions IPv6 only With retransmission Non Classified Applications Without Connections
Cleans main menu entries and improves filtering possibilities
Performance Vision Improved Filtering Options
More details added into top views One-click access to conversation
details
Version 2.5
Version 2.9
Performance Vision Improved Filtering Options
Easily create a traffic matrix based on custom Source & Destination IP addresses or subnets
Performance Vision
Time frame selection improved: New time intervals (1 hour
default) Fixed dates Keep last five recently used
intervals
Improved Usability
Online help: One-click access to documentation
Performance VisionReports
Reports: Page ordering made easy
Simple Drag’n drop
Time interval is now displayed for easier access to information
Performance VisionReports
As reports are stored on the probe and available through ftp, email recipients are now optional
Performance VisionExport as PDF
You can now export each view as PDF file in one single click
Performance VisionImproved Usability
DNS: On demand one-click name resolution (on/off)
Performance Vision Regular Expression for Web Applications
More flexibility: Use regular expression for Web applications
For validation you can check regular expression detection
Usage of Regular Expressions can be extremely resource consuming
Performance VisionVendor / MAC Address
Display Vendor name based on MAC address: On demand one-click name resolution (on/off)
Performance Vision
Performance Vision v2.9?
New Metric
Zero Window Event
Performance Vision New MetricTCP Zero Window
Count number of events. Tells that the receiver’s buffer is full and that the sender must wait before sending more data.
Performance Vision
Performance Vision v2.9? Network Sniffer Improvements
De-duplication process takes into account if vlan & interfaces are aggregated or not
Better segregation of ICMP messages Avoid that standard TCP keep-alives impact
metrics calculation New heuristic to find out clients from servers
without SYNs Support for HTTP chunked transfer encoding Conntracking improved for SIP protocol
Performance VisionAutoPCAP & PCAP
days
AutoPcap files are now kept for 72 hours instead of 48 hours to cover the week-end
Limitation on storage size for manual PCAP files has been removed. User can now freely manage size of captures depending on available storage capacity
Performance Vision
Performance Vision v2.9?
Improvements in Pulsar
Performance VisionPulsar

Performance VisionConsole Port
You can now also use the console port to access to the probe
Performance Vision
Performance Vision v2.9?
Main Impacts compared to 2.5: Data Transfer Time (DTT & EURT) Retransmission Rate (RR) Reports
Performance VisionData Transfer Time (DTT)
If there is no data transfer for a transaction after one second, the DTT metric will now timeout. We consider that the last packet received was the one to take into account for the DTT.
DTT metrics may appear with slower values (and so EURT)
Performance VisionRetransmission Rate (RR)
The Retransmission Rate is now computed regardless of empty packets.
RR metrics may appear with higher values.
Performance VisionReports Scheduling
For Reports, date of queries are not longer relatives
Existing reports may be impacted (depending on contains)
Performance VisionSystem Access
Direct System Access
Only for Certified Partners / Resellers
Platform specific (case by case) Support handled by Partner / Resellers Updates are not guaranteed Reinstallation: a new disk is sent
