original proposal for article

I suggest the following sections:

  Definition
  Actual products e.g. Ethereal: http://www.ethereal.com/
  Functions in a protocol analyzer: Capturing packets
     splitting them into envelopes
     following an exchange on a certain "envelope level"
     find inconsistencies
  Related instruments (oscilloscope, fibre analyzers, cable sonar)
  "Sniffing"
  Security issues
I suggest you figure out how much of that stuff belongs in the packet analyzer page, and put it there, instead. Guy Harris (talk) 03:26, 1 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
