Usage: This addin is now ready to be used e...

Today I prepared some stats about network traffic in NAV 2009 RTC client. You can compare the results with C/Side client (classic client).   Measuring: for measuring I have used the Microsoft Network Monitor for catching the NAV communication between client and DB Server/Service tier. Than I create sum of Frame Length, TCP Payload length and count of frames for the communication for each process. The results are not exact, because there are many things I didn’t take into account (cold/warm buffers...

You can look at it as PNG file, you can walk through it with some VRML viewer, you can open it as Visio file. You can read it and import it as CSV file. You can browse it as HTML file. You can view it as SVG file. It is on you, how you will visualize the result. I must say, I have tried many ways, but in most cases the tools...
