Packet Analysis

Packet analysis is the process of examining small units of data, called packets, that travel across a network. Each packet contains information such as the sender, recipient, and the data being transmitted. By analyzing these packets, professionals can troubleshoot network issues, monitor security threats, and understand how data flows. It involves capturing the packets, inspecting their contents, and identifying patterns or anomalies. This process helps ensure the network is operating correctly, secure, and efficient, providing insights into network performance and potential problems without disrupting everyday operations.
