Cisco Pcap Player 2.2

Cisco Pcap Player is a utility for loading and replaying packet capture (PCAP) files so you can reproduce real network traffic in a safe, controlled environment. It helps teams validate security controls, test firewall and QoS policies, demonstrate application behavior, and train staff without generating live production traffic. You can stream packets with their original timing or at an adjusted rate, loop playback for repeatable tests, and direct output to a chosen network interface.

Key capabilities:

• Open and play back standard PCAP files
• Control playback timing (original pace, faster/slower) and looping
• Select the network interface used for transmission
• Focus on specific traffic segments or sessions for targeted testing
• View basic playback status and counts to monitor progress
• Export trimmed subsets of traffic for reuse in other tools

Best practices: Use Pcap Player on isolated lab networks or with explicit authorization, as replaying captured traffic can affect devices and monitoring systems. Features and compatibility may vary by version.

Cisco Pcap Player is developed by Cisco Systems. The most popular versions of this product among our users are: 2.0 and 2.2. The name of the program executable file is pcap_player_qt.exe.
