Network Traffic Analysis and Packet Sniffing Using UDP (original) (raw)

The size of computer network is rapidly growing, and the new generation Internet needs more improvement to keep data transfer faster in the network. As the Internet users are increasing, the network traffic also parallelly increasing, so high attention is required to keep faster data transfer. For this reason, network monitoring secures the data and the management of network traffic is very essential task in the field of computer network. User data information is transferred through user datagram protocol (UDP) or transmission control protocol (TCP) via various nodes that present in the network. UDP is datagram-oriented protocol, i.e., it carries the datagram or packet from source node to destination node. To monitor the packet or datagram, packet sniffing is widely used; that is, a method of capturing the datagram to analyze the network log traffic occurs in a network during communication between various nodes that exist in the network. This paper provides a well-developed method to monitor and analyze the network traffic using UDP that removes the existing deficiency of traditional existing tool used for analyzing network traffic.
