A REVIEW: IMPROVED NETWORK MONITORING AND ANALYSIS BY MULTI - CHANNEL PACKET - ANALYSIS SYSTEM (MPAS)

Today we are seeing that computer networks are increasing in their sizes very rapidly. Number of its user increased in past few years and traffic flows in networks also increased, so it’s very important to monitor networks traffic as well as its user’s activities to keep the netwo rk smooth and efficient. For complex network it’s very tough task to maintain and monit or the network . For this purpose packet sniffing is used. Packet sniffing is important in network monitoring to watch network activities which help network administrators to find out problems. P revious paper [8] focuses on packet sniffer working in different environments , Behavior of already existing sniffer; their problems and challenge s while performing sniffing. To accomplish monitoring task, a tool is developed which will remove deficiencies of existing tool. By using this packet sniffer we can captur e traffic as well as analyze capture d traffic. We can generate reports on the basis of analyzed traffic. Alerts generated on the occurring of suspected activities. In this paper , We present a multi - channel packet - analysis system (MPAS) that helps in debugging and verific ation for multi - channel protocols or applications. By using MPA S we will reduce the packet loss ratio.
