Network Probe and protocol analyzer is the ultimate tool for traffic-level network monitoring, troubleshooting, analysis,

If your network is crawling to a standstill, and you suspect there might be a problem with the network traffic, Network Probe will quickly help you identify what is causing the problem, show you who is generating any troublesome traffic, and where the traffic is being transmitted.

Network Probe will collect traffic statistics for all protocols, hosts, and conversations on your network, and show you all the top talkers and listeners on your network. Hosts generating large amounts of traffic such as music and movie streaming, playing online games, or listening to streaming media are easily identified.

Here are some key features of "Network Probe":
Watch in real time which protocols are used on your network
