THG & Surveyor The Surveyor/THG combination uniquely enables network managers to monitor, measure, analyze and troubleshoot their entire enterprise LAN using a single software interface and one full line rate, full duplex hardware platform. The solution incorporates 10/100/1Gb Ethernet interfaces into every system and reduces traditional protocol analysis costs by almost half, without sacrificing performance. Finisar's THG (Ten, Hundred, Gigabit)/Surveyor analyzer is a powerful network analyzer plus monitoring tool for 10/100 and 1 Gigabit Ethernet networks. THG provides the most detailed and accurate 7-layer protocol decode and analysis for Enterprise LANs.
