I'm at #SharkFest this week and someone brought in a vintage protocol analyzer. As you can see, looking at network traffic used to require gear that was a) specialized and b) heavy. Looking back I suspect that I got my start in networking because my manager didn't want to lug a heavyass Sniffer around our university campus so he handed the job off to the nearest twentysomething with a strong back.
