I suggest the following sections:
Definition
Actual products e.g. Ethereal: http://www.ethereal.com/
Functions in a protocol analyzer: Capturing packets splitting them into envelopes following an exchange on a certain "envelope level" find inconsistencies
Related instruments (oscilloscope, fibre analyzers, cable sonar)
"Sniffing"
Security issues

I propose merging (or deleting) IP load tester & Telecom network protocol analyzer (and maybe even Bus analyzer) into Protocol analyzer. These articles do not seem to meet WP:Notability guidelines to merit a separate page, but perhaps are worth preserving as part of this Protocol analyzer page/stub, if reliable sources can be found. I'm also wondering if Packet analyzer should be merged here as well, since the terms are used interchangeably (in both directions [1]) Yaakovaryeh ( talk) 08:20, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
