A packet capture (or sniffer) program sees packets coming into and out of the NIC (network interface card). It saves it for later analysis and use. These capture programs can be used to analyze traffic, look for problems, or be used for looking at data coming across the network.

What is the maximum number of icmp packet that can capture?
The limit on the number of packets that a capture program can save usually depends on how much disk space you have, since that is where the captured packets will be stored.
Which tool can you use to determine whether a workstation is transmitting packets in proper Ethernet frame type for your network?
You need a protocol analyzer or a packet sniffer. They will capture packets and attempt to analyze them for proper protocol.
Data is transmitted on a network in pieces called?
Packets Words
What is the software used to sniff packets off a network?
We can use ethreal or wireshark packet capture to sniff packets. both work based on tcp/ip or dod model. ie displays 4 layer architecture
WHY IS PROMISCUOUS MODE IMPORTANT FOR PROTOCOL ANALYSIS?
It allows the protocol analyzer to capture and inspect all traffic on the network medium, including errors and malformed packets
Why is promiscuous mode operation important for protocol analysis?
It allows the protocol analyzer to capture and inspect all traffic on the network medium, including errors and malformed packets

Can a network administrator view the internet history of the clients of a wireless network through the router?
yes, i use a program called wireshark. it's a packet analyzer that tracks every packet sent through a router/hub. you just have to apply the right filters to narrow down the packets. technically this isn't "history", but while this program is running, all packets sent through the network are recorded.
When would you want to enable Capture Printer Port while installing a network printer?
When a DOS-based program has a problem printing to a network printer
Which network migration technique encapsulates IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets to carry them over IPv4 network infrastructures?
tunneling
Does network monitor allow you to look inside of packets on the network?
Yes, a network monitor program is designed to show you all of the parts of a network packet. Even your visited websites, chat messages or emails content. I saw a product name "WFilter" can do that.
Network information at the network layer of the OSI model is organized into?
