Network Traffic Analyzer

A network traffic analyser that captures and inspects traffic.

A network traffic analyser that captures and inspects traffic. As a reference project it shows how a system like this is put together in practice, which parts matter and how they are tested, so that a developer can learn from it and build on it.

It suits learners who want to understand networks and cloud systems: building or simulating the environment, measuring performance and comparing approaches.

The main parts are a simulated or deployed environment, the algorithm or mechanism being studied, performance measurement against baselines, and charts that compare the results. The reference build uses Docker, Python, Linux, and Prometheus, with a clear project structure, setup instructions and sample data so that it can be run and extended.
