PCAP Analyzer is a tool that helps analyzing network traffic captured in a PCAP format (standard of tcpdump). It has extensible Filters in charge of dissecting packets and printing information like throughput or anything that can be analyzed by Filters (e.g. packet loss, reordering, ...). It comes with several built-in Filters but can be expanded by adding custom-made Filters to the classpath. It was developped to help understanding complex network routing problems, where packets could arrive out-of-order, some were lost, or duplicated. Network analysis needed to synchronize capture on a local (destination) and remote (source) computers and display warning messages while recording traffic in PCAP format for offline analysis. ...

...(The receiving host is then required to echo all the packets back to the sender, which can be easily done via iptables rule under linux). Once the eched packets arrives back to the sender, the analyzer will calculate all the related statistics like, packet loss, jitter throughput etc... NOTE: in order to receive the echo packets you must configure the receiving host to echo the incoming packets. In the next release i will provide another java application that just echo on an UDP port.
