LAN Tornado Agent

Network monitoring is not a task for everyone, but modern computer applications aim to make the activity a little more accessible. However, this can mean many things, ranging from a target’s availability status, to its capabilities of sending and receiving data packets. For constant monitoring of a specific target, LAN Tornado Agent can provide real-time updating details on data transfer over LAN.

There’s one thing to take into account before you can enjoy anything the application has to offer. It’s not a standalone product, and is only capable of reading data from LAN Tornado operations so you need to make sure the target app is installed on the network administrator PC, and running.

The visual design is pretty simplistic, and doesn’t pose any accommodation problems. Multiple detail fields are at your disposal, constantly updating with values as they are grabbed in real time. Dedicated sections provide insight on statistic, jitter, statistic per second, as well as jitter per second.

Putting the process in motion mostly requires you to configure host, and target IP addresses. You must pick the right address for the PC LAN Tornado Agent is running on, and write down the source address where LAN Tornado is currently processing.

All sessions are shown in a table, which automatically saves history. You can revisit past sessions in order to view all related details mentioned above. What’s more, a save function gives you the possibility to have a report generated. It’s automatically created in the installation folder under the RPT format, with no prompt or dialog window to help you pick a destination, or at least to let you know save is successful.

In conclusion, LAN Tornado Agent is a component you might want to hang on to if you’re using LAN Tornado to perform network checks. Its practicality as a standalone product is nonexistent, and even though it shows a decent variety of details, it leaves more to be desired overall.
