Wireshark v. OmniPeak
A common tool for monitoring network traffic that is taught in classes is Wireshark. In part, because it is freely available. However, there are a number of other tools that can be used to capture and analyze network traffic. When compared with other tools you will often find them to be easier to use and more visually useful. OmniPeak with the Savvius devices can help you do protocol and network traffic analyzation. This series of videos will do a comparison of the two programs. You will also learn a bit about network protocols.
