Network Flows Analysis

OmniPeek includes a wealth of accessible tools to perform detailed analysis of conversation flows. These include the Packet Visualizer which shows the interactive requests and responses between the client and the server, payload reconstruction which can show the contents of the flow, and a wide range of new conversation-oriented graphs including tcptrace. The visual expert also contains a "What If" view estimating the effects of changes in various network and application parameters on the network performance and a Compare view that assists in detecting communication issues within flows when viewed from different points on the network.

OmniPeek’s Expert Analysis diagnoses are displayed by conversation pair, so you can instantly identify where problems are occurring on the network. Other companies’ analyzers hide this information, listing their alarms by OSI layer.

The Expert EventFinder in OmniPeek provides descriptions and possible causes and remedies for each of the problem conditions the Expert identifies.

The Network Policy Violation Detection allows the user to create, edit, save and reload named descriptions of a particular network-its participants and their expected behavior-for the Expert to use in detecting Network Policy violation events.

You shouldn’t have to stop your analysis to change what you’re looking at it. OmniPeek enables you to create filters and apply them immediately. WildPackets’ “select related” feature selects the packets relevant to a particular node, protocol, conversation, or expert diagnosis, with a simple right click of the mouse. Features like this significantly reduce time needed to find and fix problems. Similar operations often take a dozen or more steps in other analyzers.
