Understanding Protocol Analysis

Date: January 2008
Type: White Paper
Rating: (0)

Overview: A fundamental tool for protocol analysis is something called a protocol analyzer. As the preceding definition implies, such tools come in software-only and hardware/software flavors. Some of this software is Open Source, available to anyone who wants to download it at no charge; other software is commercial and can cost as much as several thousand dollars. Special hardware/software combinations can cost $10,000 or more. In fact, where interfaces to high-speed media like ATM or SONET place high demands on hardware processing capability, speed, buffering, and so forth, high-end, high-speed protocol analyzers can cost upwards of $25,000.
