  Data exchange through mobile devices is rapidly increasing due to the high
information demands of today's applications. The need for monitoring the
exchanged traffic becomes important in order to control and optimize the device
and network performance and security. Taking this under consideration, in this
paper, we developed a cloud-based system for the analysis of network traffic.
The smartphone devices act both as traffic captors and visualization endpoints,
enabling the user to get an overview of the network while minimizing resource
consumption. In the presented work, we evaluate our system using two test cases
and a variety of target devices. Our results prove the usefulness of the
proposed system architecture.
