- Designed to provide an introduction to core concepts, laying a solid foundation for further analysis and troubleshooting
- Suggested Prerequisites: None required; basic networking helpful
- Introduction to Protocol Analysis Concepts, including:
- Why? What problems can it solve?
- How? Discuss concepts and data flow
- review TCP/IP and OSI Model
- Where? Switched environments; WAN vs. LAN; passive and active; etc...
- Introduction to various tools, including:
- Commercial
- Network Instruments Observer
- Non-commercial
- All instruction is provided in a "hands-on" approach, allowing students to immediately use and apply concepts, including actual use of the above sniffers on a live network
- Designed to help students progress to more advanced analysis concepts
- Suggested Prerequisites: Completion of Introductory Analysis Course or equivalent base knowledge
- Review TCP/IP Data Flow Concepts (hands-on)
- TCP/IP Stack and OSI Model
- Review Three Main Modes (hands-on)
- Statistics / Monitoring Mode
- Network Trending
- Packet Capture
- Packet Capture, Decode and Analysis
- real traffic will be captured and analyzed
- will provide opportunity for each student to apply all of the above concepts independently, then to be reviewed together by the instructor to ensure proper understanding

- All instruction is provided in a "hands-on" approach, allowing students to immediately use and apply concepts, including actual use of the above sniffers on a live network
- Designed to provide additional hands-on opportunities to apply previously learned concepts, with full access to instructor for assistance
- Suggested Prerequisites: Completion of Introductory and Advanced Analysis Courses or equivalent base knowledge
- Students will be asked to provide feedback in advance of the class regarding specific topics and/or problems they are interested to troubleshoot
- Lab assignments will be prepared in advance
- In addition to those already prepared as part of the courseware, the instructor will prepare scenarios based on the input provided above
- Students are welcome to bring actual trace files as well
- After an intial review, students will be allowed time to use "sniffers" and perform real network analysis, which will then be reviewed together with the instructor
