Why You Need a Network Analyzer

In today’s world, it seems that more of the people I run across do not feel they need — or, more accurately, don’t understand why they need — a protocol analyzer for their network. A few years ago, it seemed that more people understood just how important the analyzer was. For some reason, as networks have become smarter and much more complex, this understanding seems to have dissipated. I am not sure whether it is due to the proliferation of network tools or the belief that a network can “heal” itself. Trust me, it can’t.
