CACE Technologies Releases Pilot v1.1 Upgrade.New Version Features more Views, Performance and Search Capability Enhancements DAVIS Davis, city (1990 pop. 46,209), Yolo co., central Calif.; settled in the 1850s, inc. 1917. It is an education center with light industry; machinery, processed foods, and computer equipment are produced. The extensive Univ. , Calif. -- CACE CACE Center for Adult and Continuing Education CACE Center for the Analysis of Commercialism in Education (now Commercialism in Education Research Unit) CACE Canadian Association for Community Education Technologies, Inc., developer of tools to enhance the Wireshark user experience, today announced the release of the first major update to their popular Pilot visualization Using the computer to convert data into picture form. The most basic visualization is that of turning transaction data and summary information into charts and graphs. Visualization is used in computer-aided design (CAD) to render screen images into 3D models that can be viewed from all , charting, reporting, and drill-down tool that fully integrates with Wireshark. Pilot v1.1 includes several significant new features, including new Views for VLAN See virtual LAN. VLAN - Virtual Local Area Network (802.1Q) traffic, new search capabilities that match and highlight packet elements of interest for easy drill down exploration, a new Scatter Plot See scatter diagram.

It is the systematic search for the source of a problem so that it can be solved. Troubleshooting is often a process of elimination - eliminating potential causes of a problem. efficiency and minimize time to problem discovery and resolution. Loris Degioanni, chief Pilot developer and CTO (Chief Technical Officer) The executive responsible for the technical direction of an organization. See CIO and salary survey. for CACE Technologies states, "Taking suggestions and feedback from our early Pilot adopters, we have made a concerted effort to incorporate their requested enhancements into this release. Since shipping Pilot v1.0 just over 90 days ago, we have made performance increases that will make large files easier to work with, make the discovery of matching elements in packets faster, and have taken specific suggestions on View additions that are important to our users. For example, one of our Pilot customers needed support for VLAN tagging and reporting. He sent us a packet trace and by the next day we had created 6 new Views for 802.1Q traffic that are shipping with this new release." The addition of custom Views in Pilot is one of the hallmarks of the tool. Pilot's underlying engine technology allows CACE engineers to quickly build custom filters or "Views", as they are known in Pilot. 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. What's New in Pilot v1.1 Enhanced Search Capability. This feature allows you to find the elements inside one of the Charts, the current View or all the open Views.The matching elements are highlighted and ready for drill-down or send-to-Wireshark operations. A Scatter Plot Chart has been added. Support for analyzing VLAN (802.1Q) traffic. Performance Improvements. The performance of several Pilot components has been improved. Pilot now loads faster, is more responsive, and takes less time to visualize packet sources containing many IP addresses or ports. New Views have been added: * Generic\Capture Summary: concise summary of the traffic in a source * LAN (Local Area Network) A communications network that serves users within a confined geographical area. The "clients" are the user's workstations typically running Windows, although Mac and Linux clients are also used. and WLAN See wireless LAN. WLAN - wireless local area network \VLAN\Top VLANs: top VLANs sorted by the amount of traffic that each of them carries * LAN and WLAN\VLAN\Top VLAN Priorities: VLAN traffic sorted by the amount of traffic that is transmitted at each priority * LAN and WLAN\VLAN\Network Protocol Distribution by VLAN: amount of IP/IPv6/ARP traffic that each VLAN is carrying * LAN and WLAN\VLAN\VLAN ID and Priority Details: VLAN traffic displayed by Priority and VLAN ID * LAN and WLAN\VLAN\Bandwidth Over Time by VLAN: bits, bytes and packets per second for each of the VLANs * LAN and WLAN\VLAN\Bandwidth Over Time by VLAN Priority: bits, bytes and packets per second for each of the VLAN priorities * 802.11\Over Time\Channel Usage vs. Time: estimated real usage of the different 802.11 channels, charted over time * 802.11\Scatter Plots\Transmitters: comparative analysis of the wireless transmitters * 802.11\Scatter Plots\Channels: comparative analysis of the wireless channels * 802.11\Scatter Plots\Channel Usage: estimated real usage of the different 802.11 channels charted against the number of bytes transmittedon the channels * Transport\TCP (1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. \Resets Over Time: analysis of the TCP resets * Transport\TCP\Window Size Over Time: analysis of the TCP window size and TCP window depletion for each IP host Upgrading from Pilot v1.0 to Pilot v1.1 Pilot v1.0 owners will receive a link for the new version automatically as a benefit of the update subscription service that accompanies every Pilot purchase.
