A '''protocol analyzer''' is a tool (hardware or software) used to capture and analyze signals and data traffic over a [[communication channel]]. Such a channel varies from a local computer bus to a satellite link, that provides a means of communication using a standard [[communication protocol]] ([[Telecommunications network|networked]] or [[Point-to-point (telecommunications)|point-to-point]]). Each type of [[communication protocol]] has a different tool to collect and analyze signals and data. |

A protocol analyzer is a tool (hardware or software) used to capture and analyze signals and data traffic over a communication channel. Such a channel varies from a local computer bus to a satellite link, that provides a means of communication using a standard communication protocol (networked or point-to-point). Each type of communication protocol has a different tool to collect and analyze signals and data.
Specific types of protocol analyzers include:
- A telecom network protocol analyzer
- A network packet analyzer
- A bus analyzer
- An IP load tester
