The 3Com Transcend dRMON (distributed remote monitoring) Edge Monitor System allows full-time enterprise-wide monitoring of network traffic, segments, and devices for switched, high-speed, and shared environments. Remote monitoring (RMON) of network traffic flowing on one or more LAN segments is often accomplished with a network probe or similar functionality embedded in a hub or switch. Some probes are managed by a software application, which can also gather the statistics and data collected by the probe. The management software can then manipulate or store the data as desired.
