Network Protocol Analyzer

Protocol Analyzer CAPSA

Network protocol analyzers, often called Network Sniffer or network sniffing tool or Packet Analyzer, are widely used for network traffic monitoring and troubleshooting. The prices of network protocol analyzers are ranged from a few hundred dollars to tens of thousand dollars. Most of the high priced network protocol analyzers 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 seen those protocols in your network, it would not be necessary to pay for it.  In addition, those high priced network protocol analyzers are often very complicated and you need to take a lots of time to learn it or even pay high price to participate in the vendor provided training courses to use it.

With a small investment in Javvin Network Protocol Analyzer CAPSA and minutes of self training, you are well on your way to monitor your network traffic and troubleshoot your network problems, and to accomplish your mission effectively!

Two versions

  • Protocol Analyzer CAPSA Professional Edition :  designed for network professionals who need to do daily network traffic monitoring, protocol analysis, and network troubleshooting.
  • Protocol Analyzer CAPSA Enterprise Edition :  on top of all functions and features of the Professional edition, this edition provides more advanced functions such as comprehensive statistical reports and graphic views, additional adaptor support, advanced packet filters, etc.  This is the solution for a business to do real time network monitoring, traffic and usage analysis, troubleshooting and much more...
