Mr. Degioanni, "CACE Pilot's ability to open very large pcap trace files in seconds is an enormous benefit to anyone who has waited tens of minutes or more for Wireshark to open a file of any significant size, if it even can manage the task. The simple GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. and ability to provide rapid visualization and mining of network data is another strong benefit, along with the flexible reporting mechanism that allows network engineers to create professional reports in seconds based on Views displays and drill-down analysis drill-down analysis - drill down sessions." Coupling CACE Pilot with AirPcap offers exceptional 802.11 analysis at a fraction of the cost of similar tools. What's New in Pilot v1.2 Multiple Selection in the Source and View Panels. Easily apply multiple Views simultaneously while speeding up file manipulation. Conversation Ring Chart Updated to show, in green, currently active connection and hosts. Support for the AirPcap Nx a/b/g/n WLAN USB adapter. Performance Improvements. The overall performance of CACE Pilot has been greatly improved. Expect even faster times when opening and analyzing large pcap trace files. Sub-second analysis capability. Makes it possible to gather bandwidth information with sampling times of 1/10, 1/100, or 1/1000 of a second. New "Burst Bandwidth" Views allow easy spotting of network bursts, i.e., short periods of high network activity that can cause router queues to saturate sat·u·rate v. Abbr. sat. 1.

New "Domain" Views show conversations among domains (e.g. google.com, yahoo.com) and allow clicking on any of them to go to the corresponding website. New "Top Level Domain" Views aggregate network traffic by country and show which part of the globe traffic is coming from. New Pilot v1.2 Views CACE Pilot's custom Views are the primary analysis and visualization paradigms in the program. Applying a View to a live or saved traffic source triggers the underlying Pilot engine to process the packets and display the results in a broad range of user-determined ways, including strip charts, peer tables, and more. The Views added in the v1.2 release include: * Application Bandwidth Over Time * Burst Bandwidth (1ms Burst Interval) * Burst Bandwidth (10ms Burst Interval) * Burst Bandwidth (100ms Burst Interval) * Bandwidth Over Time - 1ms Update Interval * Bandwidth Over Time - 10ms Update Interval * Bandwidth Over Time - 100ms Update Interval * Frame Size Over Time * IP Conversations Discovery * Top IP Talkers (based on sent + received data) * Active Hosts Over Time * Top/24 Subnet (SUBNETwork) A logical division of a local area network, which is created to improve performance and provide security. To enhance performance, subnets limit the number of nodes that compete for available bandwidth. Conversations * Top 24 Subnets * Domain Conversations * Top Domains * Top Source Domains * Top Destination Domains * TLD/Countries Conversations * Top TLD/Countries * Top Source TLD/Countries * Top Destination TLD/Countries * Top Local Talkers * Top Local IP Sources * Top Local IP Destinations * Active Local Hosts Over Time * TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite.
