Protocol Analyzers often have built-in intelligence that aids those who manage and troubleshoot the physical network. Analyzers provide a window into the status of the network and display an instant picture of the traffic situation by monitoring network traffic in real time. They literally hunt down, identify, and isolate traffic problems and congestion on your network. Advanced system features eliminate the need to sort through thousands of packets and the protocols to discover and quantify error conditions. Analyzers also provide advice on ways to correct problems.

Analyzer's come either as Hardware or as Software. Usually installed on Windows based PC's, good software analyzers should be usable by any network administrator, regardless of experience level. Network Administrators and Engineers typically use these tools to resolve network problems, reduce cost of down time, and increase productivity. Products
