Endpoints

Categorizes and displays network traffic by hierarchical endpoints, physical endpoints, or IP endpoints.

Protocols

Categorizes and displays network traffic by protocol.

Conversations

Shows the Physical, IP, TCP and UDP conversations between pairs of endpoints, the reconstruction of TCP streams is available.

Matrix

Shows the network traffic between two nodes in real time. The nodes were arranged in an elongated ellipse and lines between communicating nodes indicate the traffic.

Packets

Shows a list of captured packets in the order they were received and offers the detailed information of packet decode.

Logs

Records the network communications of email messages, HTTP requests and FTP transfers, primarily from any enabled advanced analyzers.

Graphs

Presents a variety of graphs displaying network statistics in real time, based on the node you select from the Project Explorer dock window and consistent with the Summary view. You can use the Compare Mode to view two different graphs simultaneously.

Each tab view (except the Graphs view and Matrix view) has its own column/sub-column options, you can right click on the column heading bar and select more columns to display. In the Endpoints view, Protocols view and Conversations view, with a click or double clicks on a column heading, you can sort the data in this column by ascending or descending, which helps you easily find the source of top traffic.

Sort endpoints by Total Bytes

You can switch among various views to see different packet information of a specific node by first selecting the node from the Project Explorer dock window. If you find a suspicious item in a tab view, the Locate Explorer Node command in the context menu (except the Summary view and Graph view) is able to let you find and highlight its location in the Project Explorer dock window by IP address, physical address or protocol, and at the same time, other tab views accordingly display the relevant information of this node.
The columns showed in tab views can be customized, you may show/hide specific columns or change the position of a column.
