Explanation
A network sniffer (also called a packet analyzer or protocol analyzer) passively captures and inspects packets flowing across network interfaces, making it the correct tool for analyzing traffic between segments. Firewalls filter and control traffic based on rules but do not perform deep traffic analysis. Proxies act as intermediaries for client requests. Content inspection is a feature or technique, not a standalone device category used primarily for traffic analysis between interfaces. Sniffers are the specific tool used in network analysis, forensics, and troubleshooting to examine raw traffic.
