Real-time network analysis software

A method and system of enabling real-time network protocol analysis of network data by a post-time network protocol analyzing software that is incompatible with a real-time protocol analyzing software real-time capturing network data, by controlling the real-time protocol analyzing software and taking over a communication socket opened by the real-time protocol analyzing software, thereby transparently porting the post-time network protocol analyzing software to the real-time protocol analyzing software. Further, a method and system of enabling the post-time network data analyzer software to analyze network data captured concurrently in real-time from two or more of the real-time protocol analyzing software based upon time stamping by the real-time protocol analyzing software of every data frame received over the taken-over sockets.
