Coradiant's TrueSight TS-1000: Page 2 of 7

Once traffic capture began, it took about 60 seconds for the TrueSight to classify data and show it on the front page. The appliance kept up with our traffic--roughly 1.5 million requests per day.

Because of its location on the network, TrueSight watched both inbound and outbound traffic at the university. For my tests, therefore, I created a traffic-screening rule that discarded all outbound Web site requests.

TrueSight's value comes from its "watchpoints," perspectives built from data taken by watching the network from the tap and reassembling each user transaction. You can choose from about a dozen preconfigured watchpoints or create your own. Note that watchpoints must be user-activated to appear on the summary screen. TrueSight highlights the watchpoints with different colors, making it easy for you to differentiate them and get a feel for the end-user experience.
