Enter a protocol pattern and click on the Submit button.

If more than one protocol matches the pattern then the matches will be listed. If a single match is found, details of the protocol will be displayed along with links providing additional information.

Click on the Servers button to see a real-time chart of the top servers for the selected protocol (see Traffic>Trend). Click on the Clients button to see a real-time chart of the top clients of the protocol (see Traffic>Trend). Click on the Connections button to see a real-time chart of the top connection using the selected protocol (see Traffic>Trend). Click on the Circles button to see a circles view showing the top connections (see Traffic>Circles).

Protocol search strings have the pattern,
<PROTOCOL>:<port>
The following protocols are recognized:

• ETHERNET
• ICMP
• IEEE802
• IP
• IPX
• RTP
• TCP
• UDP
• XNS

As well as explicitly providing a protocol and port, patterns can be used to search for protocols, for example:

• ETHERNET:2048
• TCP:ssh
• TCP:*shell*
• shell
• *shell*
• 80

The * symbol in a pattern matches any sequence of zero or more characters, for example the pattern router* would match: "router", "routers", "router123" etc. The ? symbol matches any single character, for example the pattern router? would match: "routers", "router1", "router2", but not "router" or "router12".
