Review and how it works
CommView was conceived to be a tool for monitoring Internet and Local Area Network (LAN) activity able of capturing and analyzing network packets. It gathers information about data passing through your dial-up connection or Ethernet card and decodes the analyzed data.
CommView shows you the list of network connections and vital IP statistics and examine individual packets. Packets are decoded down to the lowest layer with full analysis of the most widespread protocols. Full access to raw data is as well as provided. Captured packets may be saved to log files for future analysis.
The tool comes with a configurable system of filters; this makes it possible to drop packets it is not necessary or capture only those packets that you want to capture.
The built-in personalizable alarms can notify you about key events, like suspicious packets, high bandwidth utilization, or unknown addresses.
CommView was conceived to be a handy instrument for LAN administrators, security experts, network programmers, or each one that wants to have a full picture of the traffic going through one's personal computer or LAN segment.
The application has full decoding capabilities of the following protocols: ARP, BCAST, BGP, BMP, CDP, DAYTIME, DDNS, DHCP, DIAG, DNS, EIGRP, FTP, G.723, GRE, H.225, H.261, H.263, H.323, HTTP, HTTPS, ICMP, ICQ, IGMP, IGRP, IMAP, IPsec, IPv4, IPv6, IPX, HSRP, LDAP, MS SQL, NCP, NDS.
It can decode the protocols: NetBIOS, NFS, NLSP, NNTP, NTP, OSPF, POP3, PPP, PPPoE, RARP, RADIUS, RDP, RIP, RIPX, RMCP, RPC, RSVP, RTP, RTCP, RTSP, SAP, SER, SIP, SMB, SMTP, SNA, SNMP, SNTP, SOCKS, SPX, SSH, TCP, TELNET, TFTP, TIME, TLS, UDP, VTP, WAP, WDOG, YMSG, 802.1Q, 802.1X.
