Using Packet Capture Instances
A Protocol Analyzer packet capture instance is an independent entity
that captures network packets and puts them in a capture buffer, where
they can be displayed in the packet decodes window.
You can have several instances running simultaneously, capturing
packets according to different criteria; however, you can only view the
data from one instance at a time (per running copy of Protocol Analyzer).
Figure 72 on page 348 gives an overview of Protocol Analyzer instances.
Each instance collects packets according to capture and filter criteria
that you specify. For each instance, you can control:
When capture starts and stops.
Whether to configure the capture buffer as circular, and how big to
make it.
Which packets to capture—you can specify a filter for screening packets
and a slice (truncation) point to keep only the data you need from each
packet.
Which network interface to monitor. With multiple instances, you can
monitor more than one interface simultaneously.
In addition, you can save the instance configuration (including the filter)
in a file, load the configuration from a file, restore the default configura-
tion, and tailor the defaults to your needs.
Other NetMetrix tools use the concept of a data collection instance. How-
ever, each instance is specific to the tool that creates it; that is, you
cannot see a Protocol Analyzer instance in Load Monitor, and vice versa.
