The Network Monitor Parsers packages contain parsers for more than 400 network protocols, including RFC based public protocols and protocols for Microsoft products defined in the Microsoft Open Specifications for Windows and SQL Server. NetworkMonitor_Parsers.msi is the base parser package which defines parsers for commonly used public protocols and protocols for Microsoft Windows.

In this release, we have added new protocol parsers and updated some existing parsers in NetworkMonitor_Parsers.msi . All of these new packages are compatible with Network Monitor 3.4 RTW engine. If you are the Office and SharePoint Products Network Monitor Parser 1.2 version user, please upgrade NetworkMonitor_Parsers.msi to current 3.4.2455 version in order to keep the package compatibility.

For easy lookup of the parser index and references, you can browse through the NPL Parser Reference Map, where there are also direct hyperlinks to the Microsoft Open Specifications for those Microsoft published protocols.

Every parser MSI package here has been tested and approved compatible with the Network Monitor 3.4 RTW release. Be aware that any changes in Source Code may not yet be fully tested for release. But with our open source initiative, you can feel free to download them yourself and try them out.

Parser Field Naming Change
In order to provide a better user experience, we have included a Parser Field Naming Change list between the last CodePlex release 3.4.2371 and the current release. It has listed all the parser field changes, either a type change, or an instance change, or both. The users can update their applications or filters accordingly.
