packetsfromnetwork - collect packets from a network interface
[Gets input from a network interface]
Stream containing a single field of packet type.
This tool collects packets from a live network.
Sets the device that packets will be collected from.

Note
|
The following options applies only to ksniffer devices. |
If this is enabled the ksniffer will discard TCP ACK-only packets; this is ACK packets without payload.
If a network in in CIDR notation (eg. 192.168.1.0/24) or IP address/netmask notation (eg. 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0) is entered here, the ksniffer will only record packets originating from or arriving to the given network.
If a port number is entered here the ksniffer will only record packets to and from the given port number.

Note
|
The following options applies only to devices with loadbalance algorithm enabled on the interfaces. |
If this option is selected all packets will arrive in one thread
If 2 or more feeds are selected the interface is commanded to calculate a hash key from the IP and port number and distribute traffic evenly to the number of feeds selected.
Additional packets from network placed on the canvas, will suggest to duplicate the setting from the initial packet from network tool, thereby distributing traffic across several threads or CPU's. The parallel processed treads can be merged using the merge function at any time. For best performance delay the merge process for as long as possible.
