3.4.3 Viewing Network Traffic
After the network above was created, one of the devices attempted to send a message
to another device. The path that the message followed is shown in Figure 3-26.
FIGURE 3-26: NCD MESSAGE PATH
The NCD window shows how the message went from device 00.04.A3.00.00.00.00.88
to device 00.04.A3.00.00.00.00.01, traveling through two other nodes.
This particular message requested an APS Acknowledge. Figure 3-27 shows the path
of the APS Acknowledge. The ZENA analyzer illustrates that the APS Acknowledge
followed a different route than the original message.
