ANALYSIS TO ENHANCE THE NETWORK MONITORIN G BY MULTI - CHANNEL PACKET - ANALYSIS SYSTEM (MPAS)

In the present times it is observed that there is a sudden rise in computer network technology. Its users have also increased in past few years & flow of traffic in networks is also raised. Hence, it has become a need to watch over the activities of user o ver the network, traffic of network in order to retain smoothness & efficiency of network. For the networks having a complicated structure, it is a hefty job to regulate & watch over the network as the data present is in very huge quantity. Therefore, pack et sniffing is applied. Packet sniffing is very much important to watch over the activities of a network that helps the administrators of network to recognize the problems. In previous paper [8], the concentration is over the packet sniffers that are perfo rming their tack in different kinds of environmental conditions, characteristics of existing sniffers, issues related to them & problems faced by them while executing sniffing. For successful completion of a watching job, a software is develop that will el iminate the drawbacks of the present tool. By implementing the packet sniffer, they maintain the traffic as well analyze it. Reports can also be prepared based on the traffic that is analyzed. Several protocols such as IP, TCP, UDP are applied & filtration is performed over them as per the protocol. Alerts are made if any suspicious activity is found. In this paper, a MPAS (multi - channel analysis system) is presented which supports debugging & verification of multi channel protocols. The ratio of packet los s can be minimized by implementing MPAS.
