1. Overview
The CATC IBTracer™ 4X Protocol Analyzer is the ideal tool for analyzing
InfiniBand link data. Development Engineers will rely on IBTracer 4X
Analyzer to resolve software, firmware, and hardware problems
encountered in the development of InfiniBand host channel adapters,
switches, and other devices. Test and Quality Assurance Engineers will use
IBTracer to verify the correct operation of InfiniBand products and
compliance to the standard. Anyone involved with InfiniBand can use
IBTracer software as a stand-alone viewer to understand the InfiniBand
protocol and to facilitate system level discussions and problem resolution of
applications employing InfiniBand technology.
Please refer to the InfiniBand Specification, version 1.0 for details on the
InfiniBand protocol. The InfiniBand specification is available from the
InfiniBand TA at its web site http://www.infinibandta.org/
