Introducing NFA v23.07 with support for the Ethernet-Type element
Collection and Display of the Ethernet-Type Element
The Ethernet-Type (IANA element ID 256) refers to a specific element that represents the type of protocol encapsulated in an Ethernet frame within flow records. For example, the Ethernet Type field value of 2048 (0x0800 hex) indicates that the payload of the Ethernet frame contains an IPv4 packet. Similarly, a value of 2054 (0x0806 hex) indicates an ARP packet.
By analyzing the Ethernet Type element in flow records using NFA, network operators can better understand the composition and characteristics of network traffic, enabling them to optimize network performance, detect anomalies, and ensure the efficient functioning of their networks.
Noction Flow Analyzer v23.07 has just been released. The new version brings a number of new features and improvements to enhance users’ network monitoring and analysis experience. Here’s what this update has to offer:
