Though Packet Trap is a new but it seems the team posse’s great experience in building  Packettrap pt 360 tool suite.

Packettrap pt 360 tool suite is windows based Network Management as well as Diagnostic tool. The best thing about Packettrap pt 360 tool suite is its download size and it never consumes more memory resources in the PC. Packettrap pt 360 tool suite is a light weight application and can run on almost any windows XP/ Vista machine with minimum configuration requirements.

The first look of Packettrap pt 360 tool suite is very impressive and it’s too simple to use with easy navigation and menu options.  The dashboard has nice looks and more over it come with drag and drop components.
