The component includes two demonstration applications, one that displays raw packets, the other that totals internet traffic. Uses of packet monitoring include totalling internet traffic by IP address and service, monitoring external or internal IP addresses and services accessed, network diagnostics, and many other applications. Hardware permitting, ethernet packets may be captured and interpreted, and statistics maintained about the traffic. Magenta Systems Internet Packet Monitoring Components are a set of Delphi components designed to capture and monitor internet packets using either raw sockets or the WinPcap device driver.
