Filtering links by communication protocol

To filter links on the network interactions map by communication protocol:

  1. In the toolbar above the network interactions map, open the Protocols drop-down list.

    You will see a window containing the table of supported protocols displayed as a protocol stack tree. You can manage how tree elements are displayed by using the + and - buttons next to the names of protocols that contain protocols of subsequent layers.

    The table columns provide the following information:

    • Protocol – name of the protocol within the protocol stack tree.
    • EtherType – number of the next-level protocol within the Ethernet protocol (if the protocol has a defined number). It is displayed in decimal format.
    • IP number – number of the next-level protocol within the IP protocol (if the protocol has a defined number). It is indicated only for protocols within the IP protocol structure. It is displayed in decimal format.
  2. If necessary, use the search field above the table to find relevant protocols.
  3. In the list of protocols, select the check boxes opposite the protocols by which you want to filter events.

    If you select or clear the check box for a protocol that contains nested protocols, the check boxes for the nested protocols are also automatically selected or cleared.

  4. Click OK.

The network interactions map displays only the links for which the selected protocols are used.
