Does the new NV 5.1 "nvsniffer" functionality periodically status check the
specific TCP ports and display their status via a symbol color change in the
NetView maps and generate the appropriate event(s) when the particular TCP
port is unreachable/reachable?  Or does the nvsniffer functionality just
check for the existence of the TCP port and nothing more (i.e., no ongoing
status checking)?  The man page on nvsniffer seems to indicate that it just
discovers the TCP services, but it does not mention anything about ongoing
status checking of these services.  Thanks,
