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]
