Conversation list
The conversation list reveals what TCP and UDP conversations your network is making, captured conversations are circularly stored to keep the display real time and dynamic. Javvin Packet Analyzer will clear those conversations having been closed for more than two minutes when the list reaches 1000 conversations. The conversation related packets can be seen in the Packets view, HTTP conversations, Email conversations, FTP conversations and DNS conversations can be seen in the Logs view, when a conversation is cleared from the conversation list, you may find the corresponding information from these views.
You can view the conversation details by switching the sub-tabs at the lower section of the display, or in the new opened Conversation Details window with double clicks on the selected conversation. When the Conversation Details window is opened, the data displayed in it will be kept even after the connection is cleared from the connection list.
In addition to the common context commands as other tab views, this view also has the following specific commands:

TCP stream
From this view, you can see the reconstructed data streams of the selected conversation. The data streams of different directions can be distinguished by color, e.g. blue is for endpoint 1 to endpoint 2, green is for endpoint 2 to endpoint 1.
By default, the data streams are showed as ASCII. You can change the display to EBCDIC with a right click in the view and select the Show as EBCDIC command from the context menu.
To save the TCP streams to a text file, press the Save As icon from the toolbar or select the command from the context menu.
The preview size of TCP streams can be customized by opening the Options dialog from the Tools menu. When a TCP stream goes beyond the size defined, only the contents within the size are shown. To view the whole contents, you must redefine the preview size to a larger value.
