Protocol lower pane tabs

The Protocol lower pane tabs display the details of the protocol selected on the Protocol view. By default, the protocol lower pane is visible. You can click Details button on the Protocol view to close it, and you can also click Details button to show the lower pane when it is invisible.

The tabs showing on the lower pane are different with different selection in the Node Explorer window:

• Choosing the root node or any nodes on the Protocol Explorer, the lower pane includes Physical Endpoint tab and IP Endpoint tab.
  • The Physical Endpoint tab lists all MAC address nodes and their traffic information using the protocol selected on the Protocol view. The toolbar and columns are just the same as those on Physical Endpoint view. See Physical Endpoint for details.
  • The IP Endpoint tab lists all IP address nodes and their traffic information about the protocol selected on the Protocol view. The toolbar and columns are just the same as those on IP Endpoint view. See IP Endpoint for details.
  • You can double-click any item on the node list to view detailed packet information in the Packet window which is named with the protocol and the node name and is just the same as the Packet view (See Packet view for more information).
• Choosing any nodes except MAC address and IP address nodes on the Physical Explorer, the lower pane includes Physical Endpoint tab and Physical Conversation tab.
  • The Physical Conversation tab lists all MAC address conversations about the protocol selected on the Protocol view. The toolbar and columns are just the same as those on Physical Conversation view. See Physical Conversation for details.
  • You can double-click any item in the conversation list to view detailed packet information in the Packet window which is named with the protocol and the conversation and is just the same as the Packet view (See Packet view for more information).
• Choosing MAC address nodes on the Physical Explorer, the lower pane includes Physical Conversation tab and IP Conversation tab.
  • The IP Conversation tab lists all IP address conversations using the protocol selected on the Protocol view. The toolbar and columns are just the same as those on IP Conversation view. See IP Conversation for details.
  • You can double-click any item in the conversation list to view detailed packet information in the Packet window which is named with the protocol and the conversation and is just the same as the Packet view (See Packet view for more information).
  • The IP Conversation tab will have statistics only when there is IP address node under the MAC address node on the Physical Explorer, or else there are no items on this tab.
• Choosing any nodes except IP address nodes on the IP Explorer, the lower pane includes IP Endpoint tab and IP Conversation tab.
• Choosing IP address nodes on the Physical Explorer or IP Explorer, the lower pane includes IP Conversation tab, TCP Conversation tab, and UDP Conversation tab.
  • The TCP Conversation tab lists the conversations using TCP protocol. The toolbar and columns are just the same as those on TCP Conversation view. See TCP Conversation for details.
  • The UDP Conversation tab lists the conversations using UDP protocol. The toolbar and columns are just the same as those on UDP Conversation view. See UDP Conversation for details.
  • You can double-click any item in the conversation lists to view detailed packet information in the Packet window which is named with the protocol and the conversation and is just the same as the Packet view (See Packet view for more information).

In combination with Node Explorer, you can conveniently view the statistics that you are care about.
