CommView is a powerful network monitor and analyzer designed for LAN administrators, security professionals, network programmers, home users, virtually anyone who wants a full picture of the traffic flowing through a PC or LAN segment. Loaded with many user-friendly features, CommView combines performance and flexibility with an ease of use unmatched in the industry.
CommView captures every packet on the wire to display important information such as a list of packets and network connections, vital statistics, protocol distribution charts, and so on.
You can easily examine, filter, save, import and export captured packets, view protocol decodes down to the lowest layer with full analysis of over 70 widespread protocols. With this information, CommView can help you pinpoint network problems and troubleshoot software and hardware.
CommView requires a 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, Wireless Ethernet, or Token Ring network card, or a standard dial-up adapter. For remote monitoring tasks, you can use our special, optional add-on for CommView: CommView Remote Agent.
