Segments
This Segments dialog lets you add supported capture files captured on separate network segments to your MSA project. In order for the MSA analysis to display correctly in your flow maps and ladder diagrams, each segment file must be properly ordered by the route taken from client to server (when displayed in the flow map and ladder, the client is on the left and the server is on the right). You can manually choose to arrange the files in the dialog.
TIP: If you do not manually arrange the files by the route taken from client to server, you can use the auto-arrange feature available from the Analysis Options dialog. See MSA project analysis options.
NOTE: When calculating the delay values for the flow map and ladder, MSA assumes that the client is on the left, and the server is on the right. If you create MSA projects that include multiple flows, all of the flows in the project should be initiated from the same direction. For example, flows initiated by two nodes on the private side of a firewall would be suitable to include in a single MSA project. Flows initiated by a node on the private side of a firewall, and flows initiated by a node on the public side of a firewall would not be suitable to include in a single MSA project.
