Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I want to know if I use wireshark for collecting the packets from internet can I run those packets on my laptop (local host) for monitoring tool purposes. I just want to see how many packets are being received on my computer and lost packets etc..

Can I do a network traffic analysis project using netbeans and wireshark? My motive is to design a user interface,

2. in JPanel can I show the graph...(a curve/wave) that shows %of packets lost and receiving?

3. How should I proceed to do this? I need an idea from experts so please help me.

How should I proceed in this project if I want to do things only on my laptop and internet for collecting the packets? Can I do it on my laptop?

Just need your guidance step by step.

Thanks in advance!

You probably figured out this Developer Guide @ wirehark.org[^]

That would help you quite much. Wireshark is written in C, which would include JNI to access that from a Java implementation.

It might be easier to use a java based network monitor: JNM[^]

Your other questions:

2. Yes, you can draw something like that. Also are there libraries that could be helpful: JFreeChart[^]

3. the usual way:
- make a rough scratch (idea, used libs, time schedule)
- make detail plans (GUI look, detail functions)
- implementation
- test, test and some more test
