By intercepting packet contents with the sniffer function, PacketShow records all packets passing through network equipment at different nodes to achieve net flow monitoring and efficiency analysis. As it can integrate all existing network architectures, we recommend users to install it next to a Hub or Switch to collect data of both incoming and outgoing packets via the hub or switch. |

No matter how complicated the network services are, users can always monitor net flow status easily with the web-based management interface on PowerShow. By offering net flow monitoring service on various systems (HTTP, TelNet, FTP and network neighborhood) and network use status of users within a department, and by recording received and sent data volume (Kbytes) and frequency of connections, the management interface helps MIS personnel analyze the concurrent net flow status. |

The user management function of PacketShow allows administrators to create user lists, user data and corresponding IP addresses exactly according to the organization of the enterprise. As it shows the name of the user (employee) in the net flow table or billboard, MIS personnel will not need to memorize the corresponding IP of every user and can thus capture the network use status of every user online. When a problem occurs, MIS personnel can locate the source of the problem and solve it immediately. |

PacketShow uses the personnel organization and authority management design. Under the Hierarchical Control framework, only managers are allowed to monitor the net flow of inferiors, and inferiors have no authority to monitor or sniff the network use status of personnel in other departments. The Authorization Management allows administrators to assign system authority to users according to the organization of the enterprise. For example, the MIS department is authorized to administer the system, while a department manager can only monitor the net flow of inferiors without changing system settings. Such a thoughtful design satisfies the operation needs of the enterprise and complies with its management policy and corporate culture. |

PacketShow records every network connection and stores these data in the database. Since these records will not take a large space for storage, when disk space is available, administrators can make plans for long-term storage of such data. Moreover, they can analyze, trace and inquire these data and produce statistics and billboard on net flow with the database design framework. |
|
|
| |
PacketShow also provides external backup of net flow data stored in the database. The backup mechanism includes server backup and remote FTP backup functions, and administrators can schedule backup intervals and delete net flow data in the database after the backup is completed.

By displaying the incoming and outgoing net flow statistics of individual departments and users in terms of a billboard to let MIS personnel understand and justify the bandwidth distribution of the enterprise, PacketShow helps enterprises save unnecessary expenses through making net flow use more efficient and optimizing bandwidth allocation.
|
|
|
| |
PacketShow sends abnormal net flow notices and allows administrators to assign net flow authority according to the needs of departments and users to ensure reasonable allocation of network resources. When a user exceeds the authorized net flow, PacketShow will send an abnormal net flow notice to MIS personnel by e-mail, so that they can quickly respond to the situation and take immediate action for the problems.

PacketShow helps enterprises solve bandwidth problems with a cyclical mechanism composed of an observer, recorder, analyzer and supervisor. By providing powerful net flow information, PacketShow supervises MIS personnel to make the right decision and best network resources allocation to solve all bandwidth problems. |

The built-in proxy flow analyzer of PacketShow can identify the source IP of users connecting to external networks over the proxy server on a LAN and locate the corresponding users. It supports proxy servers using squid 2.0 or above for logs, and its accurate proxy log analyzer ensures accurate data statistics. |
