Abstract
Some embodiments provide a method for presenting packets captured in a network. The method identifies a first set of packets from a first packet group of multiple captured packet groups. The method identifies a second set of packets, that corresponds to the first set of packets, from a second packet group of the multiple captured packet groups. The method displays representations of the multiple captured packet groups. At least one of the first set of packets and the second set of packets are presented with a different appearance from other packets of their respective packet group.
Claims22
A method for presenting packets captured in a network, the method comprising:
- identifying a first set of packets from a first packet group of a plurality of captured packet groups;
- identifying a second set of packets, that corresponds to the first set of packets, from a second packet group of the plurality of captured packet groups;
- and
- displaying representations of the plurality of captured packet groups, wherein at least one of the first set of packets and the second set of packets are presented with a different appearance from other packets of their respective packet group.
A method for analyzing packets of a plurality of packet groups in a network, the method comprising:
- comparing a first plurality of packets of a first packet group with a second plurality of packets of a second packet group;
- based on the comparison, identifying a set of packets as having a set of issues;
- and
- displaying representations of the plurality of packet groups in order to flag the packets with the identified issues.
A non-transitory machine readable medium storing a program which when executed by at least one processing unit presents packets captured in a network, the program comprising sets of instructions for:
- identifying a first set of packets from a first packet group of a plurality of captured packet groups;
- identifying a second set of packets, that corresponds to the first set of packets, from a second packet group of the plurality of captured packet groups;
- and
- displaying representations of the plurality of captured packet groups, wherein at least one of the first set of packets and the second set of packets are presented with a different appearance from other packets of their respective packet group.
