Packet capture and decode
Get Gigabit line rate packet capture and filtering to troubleshoot problems where packet level analysis is required and perform advanced troubleshooting when deploying new applications.
Packet decode with application bounce chart display (shown below)
Sophisticated capture filters allow collection of more relevant data and limit the amount of traffic to analyze by filtering on individual addresses or conversation, address range for IPV4 and IPv6, IP subnet and protocols.
The capture process may be started or stopped through a user defined trigger event - capture the traffic before, after or around an event occurrence without being present. This ensures you capture the event the first time and avoids initiating random traffic captures that may not contain anything of interest.
With the captured traffic, launch the OptiView Integrated Protocol Expert to examine packet level decodes and detail in combination with a graphical representation of individual conversation threads. Captured data will automatically be sorted into conversations and displayed by the timeline as an Application Bounce Chart to make application performance and troubleshooting easier to visualize and resolve.
