Network Monitor is a network diagnostic instrument that monitors local area networks and provides a visual display of network stats.
These stats can be used by network administrators to perform routine troubleshooting tasks such as finding a down server.
The app collects a lot of data from the network's stream and displays it. It can display the source address for the computer that sent a frame to the network, the destination address for the computer that received it and the protocols used to send the data. Or, it can display a portion of the message being transmitted.
Network Monitor is a great tool for complex network information. It is not for everyone, but it can be confusing for those who don't have any experience with network analysis. There is a lot of documentation to help users get up to speed quickly.
