146 Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer
When you mine data captured in Adaptive mode, Sniffer Adaptive
Application Analyzer presents the Adaptive Session View summarizing
end-to-end session metrics for TCP/UDP-based sessions seen in the
Graph Panel time selection. From there, you can drill down to the
underlying ASPs using the Adaptive Packet Drill Down command.
This section describes the Adaptive Session and Decode views:

Adaptive Session/Decode View Mechanics
The Adaptive Session and Decode Views use the same familiar interface
as the standard Decode tab for raw packets. Because of this, the general
mechanics of working with the views are very similar to those described
in Raw Capture Mode Postcapture Analysis on page 161.
In general, options for navigating the line-by-line display, setting
Display Setup Options, printing the contents of the display, and using
context-menu commands are all identical or quite similar to the Decode
tab. Any Raw mode commands that aren’t supported with Adaptive data
are grayed out of the interface when working with the Adaptive views.
For general operating information on working with Decode views, refer
to the following topics:
Introducing the Packet Decode Tab on page 165
Navigating the Decode Tab on page 167
Setting Display Setup Options on page 191
IMPORTANT: Keep in mind that the Address Book feature available for
use with data captured in Raw mode is not used for the Adaptive
postcapture displays. Network stations still appear with their addresses
in the Adaptive displays even if they have an entry in the Address Book.
