Data Flow

This diagram demonstrates the data flow through the MaaTec Network Analyzer application:

Packets are collected from the network. You choose the network interface cards (Packet Sources) to collect data from in the Settings dialog that opens when a new document is created.

Each document can collect and store data from one or more Packet Sources. The kind of packets that shall be stored in the document may be restricted by a capture filter. You can open multiple documents for collecting data with different capture filters at the same time.

The packets of each document are displayed in one or more views. Each of the views can use a view filter to display only a subset of the stored packets.
