[SI-LIST] Ethernet tools

Hello SI-list,

I have a question about (design) tools for Ethernet twisted pair (TWP)
links.

I assume that could divide this into two parts: (1) protocal analysers and
(2) hardware tools.

(1) protocol analysers are instruments for gathering statistics and
analysis of the network or link
(2) hardware tools: vector network analysers (freq. domain) and
oscilloscopes-TDR (time domain)

My questions:
-1- if we would like to improve your understanding of high-speed twisted
pair Ethernet physical link
      design, what would you suggest to accomplish that:  methodology,
design and tools???
-2- what kind of protocol analysers are available for 100MBit TWP (and
above) Ethernet???
-3- what tools exist and/or do you recommend for time-domain and
frequency-domain analysis??
-4- Are there software packages for oscilloscopes that help you setup the
oscilloscope to measure
      the properties of Ethernet TWP signals??


Kind regards,

Jan Vercammen
