I think it depends on your level of comfort with Ethernet/TCP/IP. I'm
assuming here that's what you're interested in. The problem with
protocol analysis classes that I've seen or saw online, were that they
were very basic. Even the classes defined as "expert" weren't so expert
level. Herein lies the problem. How do you classify "expert" "medium"
"beginner"?
My recommendation would be to read as much as you possibly can to absorb
the academic parts of the protocol. Comer and Stevens are both great
books to start with. Then you can move on to general networking topic
from the likes of Computer Networks by Tanenbaum or
Interconnections...by Perlman.
Once you have the fundamentals, you can tackle troubleshooting and
learning to read trace files. There's still a lot of "art" than
"science" in doing protocol analysis.
Finally, check out the sharkfest presentations as you can pick up a lot
of good tips/tricks of the trade.
