What functions does a protocol analyzer perform at the Physical and Data Link layers of the OSI model?

What will be an ideal response?


At the Physical layer, a protocol analyzer detects problems such as opens, shorts, and electrical interference. The analyzer may be attached to the network backbone or to a particular segment of the network. The Data Link layer analysis produces information on data errors, including packet collisions, incomplete packets, corrupted packets, CRC errors, network bottlenecks, and broadcast storms.
