IAX2 Stream Analysis Window in Wireshark

With the ease of communication through networks, people become obsessed to share data over networks rather than physical forms and this attracted malicious attackers who want to steal users’ private and confidential data for various unethical purposes. These issues highlighted the need to make secure networks and for that, one needs to understand the network at the micro level. Hence, researchers launched Wireshark which is a network protocol analyzer for understanding communication, data transfer, troubleshooting, etc. IAX2 or Inter-Asterisk exchange 2 is an important protocol used by Asterisk which is a PBX server. Its main purpose was to provide VoIP connections either between servers or between clients and servers. One of the fabulous features of this protocol is that it can transfer any type of data with the help of UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
