  1. Network Analyzer Example Internet • User clicks on http://www.nytimes.com/ • Ethereal network analyzer captures all frames observed by its Ethernet NIC • Sequence of frames and contents of frame can be examined in detail down to individual bytes Ethereal web site, http://www.ethereal.com/ (This material is for self study.))

  2. Ethereal Protocol Analyzer • A network protocol analyzer is a tool for capturing, displaying, and analyzing the PDUs that are exchanged in a network. Current analyzers cover a very broad range of protocols and are constantly being updated. Protocol analyzers are also extremely useful in teaching the operation of protocols by providing a means of examining traffic from a live network. • Communication Networks uses the Ethereal open source package, which supports an extensive set of protocols, including: PPP, HDLC, Ethernet, MPLS, IP, IPv6, ARP, ICMP, RIP, OSPF, UDP, TCP, DNS, HTTP, telnet, FTP, RSVP, RTP, SIP, H.323, SSL and TLS, PING, and traceroute. • Ethereal can be run in two modes. In the first mode, the Ethereal application opens existing packet capture files for analysis. In the second mode the Ethereal application captures a frame sequence in real time and then stores the result in a packet capture file. In this document we provide a number of packet capture files that can be used by the instructor to demonstrate and analyze protocols in class. In a separate document we provide lab experiments for capturing these frame sequences. • The Ethereal package can be downloaded from www.ethereal.com. Their web site also contains instructions and example screen captures.
