In depth

A closer look at Colasoft Packet Player

Those who need to verify their captured packet files by sending them over a network could require a tool for playing back such files. Colasoft Packet Player was created in order to help users open captured packet trace files and send them back in their network. It allows them to define custom sending options, such as delay or intervals and it even provided a dedicated “burst” mode, without delays. The application carries a minimalist interface the offers a clean layout, with just the essential features for sending the required packet files. Users will be able to easily select their network adapter and the utility will automatically detect all the installed ones, providing an easy-to-access dropdown list. The packet files can be added individually and one can also select entire folders, therefore allowing the application to automatically load all the contained packet files. However, the listing for the loaded packet files doesn’t provide any detailed information about the files and this might frustrate some users. It would have been beneficial for it to also incorporate at least size or creation date information.
