AG Group to Ship EtherPeek™ 4 for Windows January 3rd!

WALNUT CREEK, California - December 10, 1999

AG Group, Inc. announced today that they will release their new, completely rewritten EtherPeek 4 for Windows on January 3, 2000. EtherPeek, well-known industry-wide for its friendly GUI and powerful troubleshooting and debugging capabilities, now adds optimized, multi-media packet capture, flexible packet monitoring and filtering via multiple capture windows, AND, OR and NOT Advanced Filter specifiers, new grouped Name Table options and much more to its robust packet and network analysis feature set.

Chosen by Cisco International BV Professional Services and Lucent NetCare as their protocol analyzer of choice, EtherPeek is also the standard training tool for TCP/IP protocol courses delivered through Novell Authorized Education Centers (NAECs) globally and a key learning aid for various network management trainings offered through numerous Cisco Academy locations, Varian Oncology Systems, Motorola University, and others.

Award-winning EtherPeek sets the industry standard for ease-of-use, making the complex tasks of troubleshooting and debugging mixed-platform, multi-protocol networks easy. Key features of the software include real-time and post-capture packet filtering, Plug-ins for expert packet analysis, powerful decoding with support for all major protocol suites, ProtoSpecs(TM) technology for fine delineation of packet type and protocol definitions, a simple "Make Filter" command for address, protocol and offset filtering creation/modification, real-time utilization statistics for node, protocol, and filtered packet monitoring, Summary Statistics for baselining and monitoring key traffic statistics at different intervals, HTML traffic statistics output, and more.

EtherPeek 4 for Windows Feature Enhancements

---

• New! Multiple Capture Windows/Buffers/Filters
  Support for multiple buffer packet capture in different windows simultaneously, allowing you to capture a conversation in one buffer and another conversation in a separate buffer, or OSI traffic into one buffer and IP traffic into another, e.g.
• New! Support for Advanced Filters
  New advanced filters allow the use of OR, AND, and NOT in filter creation and implementation.
• New! Filter creation based on port designation
• New! Filter creation based on strings located anywhere in the packet
• New! Name Table Options
  Support for Port names (e.g., IP ports; Name Identification (such as router, server, client, etc.)); and Name Table groups that can be loaded and unloaded, providing a more organized and customizable Name Table.
• New! Enhanced HTML Output for Statistics
  The new enhanced feature allows the exporting of statistics to HTML even if statistics windows are closed. View real-time node and protocol traffic statistics gathered by EtherPeek with your Web browser. HTML templates provided with EtherPeek allow easy report customization to remotely access relevant network data from virtually any location.
• New! Enhanced Node Statistics
  View traffic to and from logical and hardware addresses. Node Statistics now show logical addresses associated with hardware addresses or name aliases.
• New! Monitor Mode
  Node, Protocol and Conversation Statistics collected and displayed continuously in real-time.
• New! Name Resolution Options
  "Silent Resolver" listens for packets containing name resolution information and uses that information to help build the Name Table. "Active Resolver" will actively resolve any resolvable IP names.
• New! Hierarchical view of packet decode information
• New! Split Frame Format for packet decodes
  View a decoded packet in two panes (header/data and raw) -- highlighting an item in the decoded packet selects the raw hex values in another pane.
