1. This appliance is designed as a network professional's quick VM tool for resolving network problems, even if they're unfamiliar with loading, obtaining distributions, Linux in general, etc. It's already configured and a set of common tools for a network professional are available and loaded, such as Ethereal, tftpd, web browser bookmarks to subnet calculator websites, and many other common network tools which some normally require searching, saving, installation, configuration, and other time consuming setup requirements all with large learning curves.

Ethereal is used by network professionals around the world for troubleshooting, analysis, software and protocol development, and education. It has all of the standard features you would expect in a protocol analyzer, and several features not seen in any other product. Its open source license allows talented experts in the networking community to add enhancements. 2.
