DynamicAccess

DynamicAccess® technology is an advanced network driver that improves

Features

performance, management, and control of your network. DynamicAccess

 

technology is copied to your hard drive, but not installed, when you install

 

the NIC software.

 

DynamicAccess technology adds intelligence to the NIC by integrating the

 

following features:

 

Distributed RMON (dRMON)—Enables full RMON reporting on all network

 

segments, including switched networks, without needing to place dedicated

 

RMON probes throughout the network

 

Traffic Prioritization—Ensures that business-critical and delay-sensitive traffic

 

(such as multimedia applications) has priority over normal data

 

Fast IP—Eliminates router bottlenecks and improves performance in

 

switched networks

 

Efficient multicast control—prevents flooding of switched networks by

 

multicast applications such as video training, stock quotes, or online news
