Easy to use network sniffer: Packet Analyzer CAPSA

Network sniffers from various vendors are widely used for network traffic monitoring and troubleshooting. The prices of network sniffer are ranged from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousand dollars. Most of the high priced network sniffers boast features such as decode a large number of protocols from the most used TCP/IP protocols to rarely implemented legacy protocols. If you never saw those protocols in your network, it would not be necessary to pay for it.  In addition, those high priced network sniffers are often very complicated to use and you have to take a minimum of a week long training to understand it. Packet Analyzer CAPSA is a low cost, easy to use and feature rich alternative to those high priced network sniffers.
