Captures packets and uses slick GUI to control reporting
As an independent troubleshooter, I am always interested in tools that are portable and provide instant information Many times when I am looking at a customer’s problem, I cannot assume that they will graciously give me their SNMP strings or access to their network management system. That being…

A small, convenient tool that is very stable, but needs to have a longer battery life
They could make it easier to set up originally, because the initial setup can be quite hit and miss. It is also quite battery intensive, so it might last a bit longer if it had a lithium battery. You're always having to replace the batteries, so it would be good if it could be USB-charged or something like that.
