Analyze the principle and development status of the route protocol analyzer

The routing protocol analyzer is divided into three types: Portable routing protocol analyzer based on notebook + data collection box, handheld integrated routing protocol analyzer, and distributed routing protocol analyzer, the protocol analyzer is divided into two parts in principle: data capture and protocol analysis. The implementation of these two parts involves the following common forms:

Software-only protocol analysis systems, such as OptiView-PE of Fluke. Most software-only route protocol analyzers can use common NICs for simple data collection. This is the protocol analysis software with the most usage + PC Nic. This routing protocol analyzer usually has two reasons.

① Simple and inexpensive software or free software, small and practical, with weak functions

② The software part of the route protocol analyzer running on the PC or the computer. The original protocol analysis work is based on software analysis. Therefore, the software part of the high-end route protocol analyzer should also be implemented by the computer platform.
 
Portable routing protocol analyzer based on notebook + data collection box

The main difference between this method and the above-mentioned Protocol Analysis Software + PC Nic is the dedicated data collection system, it is necessary to capture the complex and high-speed network links at full speed or filter real-time data more effectively using a dedicated data collection method.
 
Handheld integrated routing protocol analyzer

From the perspective of the development of the route protocol analyzer, network maintenance personnel increasingly need to use a comprehensive testing and analysis method that combines multiple network testing methods, the Function Extension of a typical routing protocol analyzer includes the network management function, the automatic network information collection function, and the intelligent expert fault diagnosis function, and the mobile performance must be effective. This integrated route protocol analyzer or integrated network analyzer has become the main development trend of network maintenance and tester, like Fluke's OptiView INA has been widely used and developed for on-site network analysis, fault diagnosis, and network maintenance.
 
Distributed routing protocol analyzer

As network maintenance grows and network technology changes, it is increasingly difficult to collect key network data. Sometimes, in order to analyze and collect data, the data collection system of the route protocol analyzer must be able to be separately located in different parts of the network, the distributed routing protocol analyzer is developed by the routing protocol analyzer platform that can control multiple collectors for management and data processing. The cost of this method is usually very high.
