Also, network traffic can be captured in real-time as HTTP downloads, including filtering to selected IPs, protocols, or MAC address.

The Allegro Network Multimeter dynamically adjust its memory usage to the traffic it sees. This means that in smaller networks the device can store historical data longer while for larger networks the device stores more IP addresses and related information, but for a shorter amount of time.

By default, all graphs show network traffic in one second resolution for recent traffic and reduces the detail level for older traffic. In the Settings it is possible to adjust the graph resolution and reduction values to either get more detailed graphs or longer data storage time.

The Network Multimeter will present name information wherever available and use different data sources for extracting name information for network devices (and their IP addresses). Names are often announced by the devices itself (via DHCP or NetBIOS), or are part of the network infrastructure (via DNS or HTTP host names).
