Hi,

Whats the best way to identify network behavior?? Behavior of the ports/interfaces and routers? I can get data and analyse the traffic but trying to search for a pattern for a meaningful classification. Any help appreciated.

Thank you

A: 

Try Fiddler.

Hi Thanks for the quick info. My goal here is that i want to categorize the behavior of my interfaces depending on factors like ingress/egress traffic. I have all the data with me. By end of this exercise I want to determine which ports I can get rid of or which is having the least activity.

I think I need to use some kind of pattern recognition to do this. But unable to get a lead.

I added another entry for WireShark. I think with both, specifically WireShark, you can color code endpoints and filter by them. So, I think you may be able to see where the heavy and light hitters as far as ports go if that's what you're after.

I would say Ethereal is the best tool out there.

It was some time since I used it, but by what I remember you could choose a number of filters and features like that which made it very clear what was going on.

WireShark is a great tool, too.

Features are similar to other, but one is the exporting to CSV. You could then import the CSV into Excel and run some analysis there.
