Network Traffic Analysis

Ever wonder what all those packets flying around your network are for? Has some hacker gotten access to your network or is it just normal network traffic? Network monitoring is the least understood aspect of network administration and one of the most important. In this course, a networking expert shows you exactly how to monitor and analyze network traffic in order to maximize performance, reduce congestion, and ensure security. Start by learning the specific details of Ethernet, IP, TCP/IP, 802.11 Wireless, NetBIOS, and SMB protocols so you can monitor and analyze traffic effectively. Then using the Wireshark protocol anaylzer you'll learn how to filter, identify, and analyze network traffic activity. After leaving this class you'll have a very strong foundation in modern networking protocols and how to understand all of them. For all network users and administrators seeking a better understanding of the networking world and their networks.
