Monitoring Networking and Transport Protocols
Networking problems can be difficult to diagnose, because networking involves a variety of hardware and software components. The previous section focused on the physical cable and LAN card. This section shows tools for checking the behavior of the networking protocols, primarily those in the TCP/IP protocol suite.
This section describes monitoring for the network and transport layers of the OSI seven-layer networking model.
