TIBCO Rendezvous® 8.7.0

# Overview

Rendezvous protocol monitor, `rvtrace`, is a tool for network administrators. It monitors network packets, categorizes them, and reports statistics at regular intervals.

Network administrators can use `rvtrace` to diagnose network difficulties in real time, answering questions such as these:

| • | Which computers are inundating the network?

| • | Which computers are sending or receiving an inordinate number of retransmission requests?

## Snapshots

`rvtrace` operates by capturing network packets, extracting information from packet headers, and gathering statistics about those packets. At the end of each interval, it compiles a statistical snapshot, and resets its counters for the next interval.

`rvtrace` can output those statistics in table format, or you can use SNMP to query the most recent snapshot.

## Prerequisites

`rvtrace` is a tool for experienced network administrators.

| • | You must already understand IP protocols and addressing conventions.

| • | You must already understand Rendezvous software from an administrator’s perspective.

| • | To use `rvtrace` effectively, you must understand the topology of your network.
