What is TracePlus®/Winsock?

TracePlus®/Winsock is a powerful application-level performance and diagnostic tool for Win32 platforms. Featuring an integrated data analyser, TracePlus® moves beyond the realm of displaying API calls, being both a full-featured Winsock spy and data analysis tool.

Using its unique visual realtime display of Winsock activity, you can spot timing-sensitive Winsock problems, view error codes for failed Winsock functions, reverse engineer other Winsock applications without source code, interpret conversations between two Winsock applications, and learn how Internet protocols are implemented.
