CommView

CommView is a powerful network monitor and analyzer designed for LAN administrators, security professionals, network programmers, home users

virtually anyone who wants a full picture of the traffic flowing through a PC or LAN segment. Loaded with many user-friendly features, CommView combines performance and flexibility with an ease of use unmatched in the industry.

This application captures every packet on the wire to display important information such as a list of packets and network connections, vital statistics

protocol distribution charts, and so on. You can examine, save, filter, import and export captured packets, view protocol decodes down to the lowest layer with full analysis of over 100 supported protocols.

With this information, CommView can help you pinpoint network problems and troubleshoot software and hardware.

The newest CommView version 7.0 introduced SSL/TLS traffic decryption on the fly. A traditional packet-capture tool is useless when you need to inspect the contents of an encrypted session,

be it your browser downloading a webpage or some application that contacts an unknown server for an obscure reason. Today, virtually all network traffic is encrypted. CommView 7.0 is a game-changer:

It intercepts SSL and TLS traffic and displays the contents as if you were capturing an unencrypted TCP session.

Comm View includes a VoIP analyzer for in-depth analysis, recording, and playback of SIP and H.323 voice communications. For remote monitoring tasks, you can use our special, optional add-on for Comm View: Comm View Remote Agent.

It allows Comm View users to capture network traffic on any computer where Remote Agent is running, regardless of the computer’s physical location. This powerful and unique technology broadens your monitoring range: you are no longer limited by your LAN segment or personal computer.
