Understanding Network Analysis(理解网络分析)
Electronic distribution of information is becoming increasingly important, and the complexity of the data exchanged between systems is increasing at a rapid pace. Computer networks today carry all kinds of data, voice, and video traffic. Network applications require full availability without interruption or congestion.
随着系统之间数据高速交换的不断增长,电子信息的传输变的日益重要和复杂。现今的计算机网络可以传输语音及视频等各种类型的数据。网络应用需要不间断或无拥塞的全面利用。
As the information systems in a company grow and develop, more networking devices are deployed, resulting in large physical ranges covered by the networked system. It is crucial that this networked system operate as effectively as possible, because downtime is both costly and an inefficient use of available resources.
信息系统在公司里不断成长和发展,会让企业采购和配置更多的网络设备,导致在一个网络系统里包含了大量的物理设备。有效的运转网络系统将会变的至关重要,因为网络的中断会导致企业资源及工作效率低下,其代价是非常昂贵的。
Network analysis is a range of techniques that network engineers and designers employ to study the properties of networks, including connectivity, capacity, and performance. Network analysis can be used to estimate the capacity of an existing network, look at performance characteristics, or plan for future applications and upgrades.
学习和使用网络分析工具,是网络工程师和网络设计师技术的延伸,网络分析包括网络的连通性,容量,及性能的分析。网络分析可以用来评估现有网络的容量,查看网络性能的特征或为未来网络应用的需要进行计划和升级。
One of the best tools for performing network analysis is a network analyzer such as Sniffer Pro. A network analyzer is a device that gives you a very good idea of what is happening on a network by allowing you to look at the actual data that travels over it, packet by packet. A typical network analyzer understands many protocols, which enables it to display conversations taking place between hosts on a network.
网络分析需要用网络分析器来做,而Sniffer Pro是最好用的工具之一。网络分析器在网络中发生什么事情的时候,可以给你非常好的排错思路,也充许你查看真实的数据,数据包。一个典型的网络分析器还要懂得更多的协议,这样它可以显示出网络中两主机之间发生的会话。
Network analyzers typically provide the following capabilities:
典弄的网络分析器可提供如下功能:
■ Capture and decode data on a network
捕获和解码网络中的数据
■ Analyze network activity involving specific protocols
分析网络中活动和定义的协议
■ Generate and display statistics about the network activity
产生和显示网络中活跃的充计数据
■ Perform pattern analysis of the network activity
对网络中活跃的数据进行图样分析
