Network Protocol Analyzer
Gather traffic data with powerful network protocol analysis
Analyze bandwidth and traffic patterns with protocol monitoring
Protocol scanners monitor network bandwidth usage
See which users, applications, protocols, or IP address groups consume the most bandwidth. Get valuable insights into which applications consume the most bandwidth and track application traffic according to ports, source and destination IPs, and protocols. The bandwidth threshold alerting capability in SolarWinds NetFlow Traffic Analyzer uses protocol monitoring to deliver instant notifications if bandwidth utilization exceeds predefined thresholds.
Explore IP flow conversations with protocol analysis tool
Using NetFlow Traffic Analyzer as a protocol scanner helps you access personalized network traffic views by filtering flow data. Create in-depth network protocol analyzer reports and schedule automatic weekly delivery for your team. Determine which flows are representative of most bandwidth consumption and boost overall performance by up to 10 times when capturing flows representing 95% of the total network traffic.
Troubleshoot network issues with a protocol analyzer

This network protocol analyzer gives you the tools you need to perform network protocol analysis and discover the root causes of any issues. The NetFlow Collector Services resource gives detailed status information about servers by collecting flow and CBQoS information. Other resources provide time stamps for devices routing data flows through NetFlow Traffic Analyzers, enabling you to drill down on individual interfaces with ease.
Analyze a range of metrics with a network protocol analyzer
Find the cause of high bandwidth utilization with NetFlow Traffic Analyzer’s detailed protocol monitoring capabilities. Track data flow statistics to determine the right CBQoS class and policies you need to create and apply to your systems—and ensure your implementation is properly tuned. Configurable alerts keep you up to date on the effects of policy maps applied to your Cisco devices, while cross-stack network data correlation gives you visual representations of data and corresponding analytics.

A network protocol analyzer is a tool used to monitor data traffic and analyze captured signals as they travel across communication channels. Sometimes network protocol analyzers are standalone hardware devices through which all network traffic is routed, and in other cases, they’re software applications installed on specific workstations or networks to provide an added layer of security. In addition, network protocol analyzers can be paired with firewalls and antivirus programs for a strong line of defense against network intrusions.
Any information sent across the internet, whether as an email or a webpage, is broken down into thousands of small data packets, which are then reassembled at the intended destination. Network protocol analyzer tools, also known as “sniffers,” function by capturing data packets and assessing whether the data they contain is legitimate and valid—or whether it might contain elements of malicious code. Different methods of communication will use different protocols, which is why protocol monitoring tools and software needs to be able to monitor different protocols to provide proper network security.
