What Are Network Protocols?

In computing, a protocol is a convention or standard that controls or enables the connection, communication, and data transfer between two computing endpoints. In its simplest form, a protocol can be defined as the rules governing the syntax, semantics, and synchronization of communication. Protocols may be implemented by hardware, software, or a combination of the two. At the lowest level, a protocol defines the behavior of a hardware connection.

Why Protocol Analyzing Important?

Since all network communications are based on protocols and different protocols indicates varieties of network behaviors, by analyzing protocols using a network sniffer, we get to know what network applications are used on the network and what network behavior is taken against your network. You may check out our protocols database to get an explanation of each protocol.

Analyze Protocols with Capsa

Being able to support more than 300 protocols in the latest version, Capsa make it easy to analyze protocols in network and understand what is happening.

- Comprehensive Protocols Information in “Protocols” Tab

In “Protocols” tab, all protocols detected are listed with detailed traffic (both total and real-time) and connections information. With its easy sorting feature, we can understand which protocol has generated the largest traffic and built most connections.

- Drilldown on a Single Protocol

Capsa’s unique “Explorer” allows you to carry out drilldown analysis on a single protocols and view dedicated information in the information-rich tab views.

Conclusion

With Capsa’s protocol analyzing ability, we can easily understand what is happening on our network and which network application has generated the largest traffic, these statistics provides first-hand information to carry out everyday network management.
