Wireshark Adds Support for Gigamon's GigaSMART Headers
SILICON VALLEY, Calif., July 20 -- Gigamon(TM), the leading global provider of Intelligent Data Access Networking(TM), today announced that Wireshark has added support for Gigamon's GigaSMART headers. Now packets that are processed by the GigaSMART module can be modified to include source port identification, time stamping and original packet length when slicing. This valuable information can now be decoded by the Wireshark interface for in-depth analysis.
"We recognize Gigamon's GigaSMART as an important data access technology for Wireshark users. With support for GigaSMART's inserted header or trailer information, Wireshark can now better serve our open source community," said Gerald Combs, Director of Open Source Projects at CACE Technologies, Wireshark Development Project Lead, and original Ethereal/Wireshark creator.
Wireshark is the world's foremost open source network protocol analyzer used to capture packets. With more than 500,000 downloads a month for Wireshark and thousands of GigaVUE shipped from Gigamon every year, the IT industry has embraced the joint solution for network troubleshooting, optimization and security.
"The gatekeepers of Wireshark recognize the innovative technology that GigaSMART provides with nanosecond time stamping accuracy, the ability to add source port information to a packet and slice packets. Now only the relevant portions are processed, which boosts the efficiency of the Wireshark tool," said Patrick Leong, CTO of Gigamon. "The Wireshark user community needs to see this critical information which made it an easy decision for the gatekeepers to support the GigaSMART headers."
"When devices using Wireshark are connected to the GigaVUE, they will gain complete visibility to all the data, 24x7. The combined solution simplifies troubleshooting network problems, examining security issues and debugging protocols," said Kevin Jablonski, Gigamon's VP of Marketing and Business Development. "With the latest support for the GigaSMART module, IT teams can analyze the exact 'wanted' network data and identify problems in a more timely manner."
