Why Packet Analysis? - Time is Money

There’s a saying; Packets Don't Lie,” and it is true.  You can guess what might be causing an outage or slowdown, and you can make multiple changes, never really knowing which one made the difference. Yet when the problem happens again next week, you have to start all over again.  Capturing the packets sent by each entity, always yields definitive results.  Liken it to reading back the record in a court of law.  No one can dispute it.  Some clients prefer to learn how to troubleshoot for future issues and some want to hand the case over. We can work either way.
