Mentor Packet Voice Decoder (PVD)

The Mentor Interative Expert Analysis System is an efficient, easy-to-use The Packet Voice Decoder (PVD) is designed to take Ethernet VoIP capture
offline diagnostic tool that identifies and helps to solve network problems in files and play the audio through the speakers of your computer. By using the PVD,
TCP/IP, Novell NetWare, Sun NFS, SMB, LLC (Type-2), Router/Bridge, Ethernet technicians can identify audio distortion by capturing actual VoIP conversations
and WAN (HDLC, SDLC and Frame Relay) environments. Mentor tailors the and listening for distortion and echo. This can help separate quality problems
