PacketView Pro is a network protocol analyzer that allows network managers, field engineers and developers to capture and decode network traffic for most popular LAN and WAN topologies on a standard PC. It is a complete real time network monitor and protocol analyzer when run on a Windows XP based system with appropriate network interface cards.
PacketView Pro captures all network packets then filters, saves, decodes and displays the packets – all in real time. The line mode display provides the packets in a concise time ordered form while detail mode displays the contents of the packets interpreting and displaying each field of the packet.
PacketView Pro captures packets from multiple network interfaces simultaneously making monitoring of all interfaces to/from a router, bridge or hub possible.
To determine packet latency and loss through a large network PacketView Pro supports, with the optional TimeStamper™, GPS provided time stamps. Packets may be collected simultaneously at multiple locations then merged and accurate packet latency and packet loss may be determined.
PacketView Pro is ideal for network engineers creating and testing new protocols and applications, including embedded systems and client/server applications.
