What is a primary advantage of using the fw monitor tool?

The primary advantage of using the fw monitor tool is its ability to capture packets at multiple inspection points within the firewall's processing chain. This allows for detailed analysis of how packets are handled at different stages, facilitating effective troubleshooting and performance optimization. While fw monitor is efficient, it can still impact performance if not used judiciously, and it does not capture all physical layer traffic unless specifically configured to do so.
