Packet Inspection
WireShark (O,W) - In my opinion, this is hands down the best network protocol analyzer. You can capture and interactively browse the traffic running on a computer network. You can view all PDU info (size, header info and contents, and even save captures for later analysis. It supports sorting, filtering, search. I have used this several times to track down the source of network problems and as a training tool in my network class. The website has some great how-to videos to help you learn how to use it, and there is even a portable version. *
