Data Traffic is one of the most important tasks of cyber security. Not only detects the individual malicious connections but also it will also finds from which node the malicious is generated. After detecting, it will take appropriate actions to mitigate the risk of malicious traffic and increase the system&s;s cyber security. Nowadays network generates a significant amount of traffic data streams and it is necessary to analyze all the traffic for better use and security purposes. It takes a tremendous amount of time because of its complexity. Some popular network traffic analyses include Wire Shark, TCP Dump, and Net Flow Analyzer. These tools are commonly used in network security, network performance analysis, and troubleshooting. Network traffic analyzers can also provide visual representations of network traffic, such as graphs and charts, to help network administrators understand and analyze traffic patterns. This information can help network administrators optimize network performance by identifying bottlenecks and other issues that may be impacting network performance. Finally, the network traffic analyzer should be regularly updated to ensure it remains effective in detecting new security threats and optimizing performance. By following these steps, network administrators can ensure that their network traffic analyzer provides them with the insights they need to optimize their network performance, troubleshoot issues, and identify potential security threats.
