In depth
A closer look at FrameSeer
Packet-capture applications go by a variety of names including, sniffing tools or sniffers (after the Network Associates "Sniffer" product), frame grabbers, packet monitors, and protocol analyzers.
Packet-capture tools are essential aids for diagnosing communications problems, investigating network security breaches, and for general network performance monitoring and troubleshooting tasks.
FrameSeer is a native Mac OS X ("Cocoa/Aqua") application and will help you to diagnose network faults with confidence. Once you've used FrameSeer to track down your first network problem, you'll reach for it whenever your network hiccups. The current version of FrameSeer (1.3.1) runs on both Mac OS X 10.2 (Jaguar) and Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther) but future versions are likely to require at least Mac OS X 10.3.2.
FrameSeer can capture traffic on your Ethernet, AirPort, PPPoE (eg aDSL or cable-modem), PPP (eg dial-up modem) and loopback interfaces.
What's New in This Release:
· FrameSeer windows now remember placement on secondary screens (if appropriate).
· Internal tables updated to use latest IANA protocol numbers.
· The Filter-selection drawer no longer accepts changes while a capture is running. See the release notes for details.
· Users please note that this is likely to be the last version of FrameSeer that runs on Jaguar. Future versions will need at least Mac OS X 10.3.2.
