STUDY AND DEVELOP
AN ETHERNET PROTOCOL ANALYZER APPLICATION IN LOCAL AREA NETWORK ENVIRONMENT
BY
This project involves an in-depth study on
data communication technology between computers. The analysis, design and implementation
phases will be present during the development of a protocol analyzer
application for Ethernet LAN segments. The main goal of this application is to
give the network administrator a better understanding of the network they
support, by providing information about network traffic flow and usage
patterns. The administrator can use the application to track and capture all
information transported over the Ethernet, for example the data packet. All
major application protocols will be covered, including TCP/IP, UDP, HTTP, HTTPS
and others. Log files can be generated with this application for network
management purpose. Administrator can ensure the security of the organization’s
network. In the event of security breaches, we can identify the root of the
problem, and take action before problems further occur.
