Protocol decoding
Protocol decoding, also known as protocol analysis, is a process for a program or a device to decode network protocol headers and trailers to understand the data and information inside the packet encapsulated by the protocol. To conduct protocol analysis, packets must be captured at real time for line speed analysis or later analysis. Such program or device is called a Protocol Analyzer or protocol decoder.
