Analysis Object

The Analysis Object settings are used to customize the objects to be analyzed, such as protocols, addresses, conversations and the maximum number of the objects.

There are three columns on this tab:

• Analysis Object: Includes Network Protocol, Physical Address, Local IP Address, Remote IP Address, Physical Group, IP Group, Physical Conversation, IP Conversation, TCP Conversation, and UDP Conversation. All analysis objects on the list are selected by default. The program will not analyze the analysis object if it is not selected.

  For example, if analysis object Local IP Address is not selected, all statistical information based on local IP address will not be available, including local IP addresses on the IP Explorer and all statistics about local IP address on the statistical views.

• Protocol Details: Sets the display of detailed traffic information for the Protocol view. The table below lists the function of this column when it is enabled.
