Protocol Tools is the online test, measurement and connectivity web site of Gillaspy Associates a leading organization providing protocol analyzers, physical layer switches, fiber optic cables, protocol test tools, and professional protocol training.

Product Highlight
- The Gigamon GigaVUE Data-Access Aggregation Switch is designed to enable “Distributed Connectivity” across mission-critical enterprise networks while simultaneously supporting a variety of “out-of-band” monitoring tools (protocol analyzers, application performance monitors, intrusion detection systems, RMON probes, forensic recorders, etc.)

The Gigamon Data Access Switch significantly reduces capital and operational expenditures and improves uptime by enabling more flexible network security, monitoring and troubleshooting while using fewer, less expensive and less intrusive tools. More on the Gigamon Data Aggregation Tool

Product Highlight -
Network Latency and Impairment Emulators
Our Network Emulators are used in network testing to introduce network latency, network delay variation (jitter), packet errors, bit errors and other network impairments prior to deployment.

Network Emulator vs. Network Simulator
These Network Emulators use high speed hardware to provide better network emulation performance, precision and accuracy than software-based network simulators. Providing full line rates up to 11.3 Gbps, our Network Emulators offer comprehensive support for:

WAN testing VoIP network testing
Ethernet/IP testing Triple Play H.323 testing
SONET/SDH testing Satellite Communications testing
Circuit Emulation Network QoS
Fibre Channel testing Business Continuity

Network Emulators enable organizations to conduct network emulation of realistic and repeatable network applications testing in the laboratory environment, providing validation and confidence that these network applications will perform effectively on the production network.

Our customers benefit from reduced risk, higher quality, lower costs and faster time-to-market for their network applications, services and devices. Request a Web Demo or Quote on Network Delay Emulators

Learn how to predict application performance and failure thresholds under multiple network conditions in our new Best Practices White Paper: Testing Enterprise WAN Applications.

Product Highlight -
Finisar's Xgig SAS Analyzer, SATA Analyzer from Finisar is a critically-important tool for engineers developing and troubleshooting products and systems that involve the SAS, SATA protocols at 1.5, 3 and 6GB speeds. It has advanced features such as cross triggering (internal and external) and expert analysis, which make it an ideal platform for solving challenges with high-speed serial buses. Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) are evolutionary replacement technologies for the Parallel SCSI and ATA/IDE physical storage interfaces. SAS and SATA storage protocols offer easy configuration and pathways to faster throughput. The line rates are 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 Gb/s. More SAS, SATA Analysis Info
