Decode and Analysis – Internet Observer View
Internet Observer View in Decode and Analysis submode of Packet Capture mode is
similar in appearance and function to Internet Observer mode. The difference is that
the display is static, reflecting the distribution of protocols in the capture buffer,
rather than, as with Internet Observer mode, dynamic: reflecting an ongoing, updated
distribution of what is happening on the monitored segment. While the numerical
display in Internet Observer mode changes as Observer receives new data, in Internet
Observer View (in Decode and Analysis submode of Packet Capture mode) the data
will only change when a new capture is loaded into the buffer, and when a new filter
is applied to the present capture.
