Cascade Pilot PE software analyzes traffic seen on the local interfaces of the Windows platform on which it is installed, including traffic monitored by Riverbed AirPcap™ 802.11 wireless LAN packet capture adapters. It also analyzes standard .pcap packet trace files.
Easily isolate traffic of interest using drag-and-drop multi-level drill-down and an extensive collection of network analysis Views. Configure triggers and alerts to catch abnormal behavior.
Use Cascade Pilot PE as a searchlight to help quickly locate network anomalies when millions of packets need to be analyzed. Once located, deeper packet-level inspection is accomplished through Cascade Pilot powerful drill-down features and Wireshark fully-integrated command line interface (CLI.)
The Cascade Pilot PE graphical user interface supports hundreds of views and charts for analyzing network traffic on local interfaces or trace files. Charts can be customized, saved, imported/exported in a variety of formats, and shared with colleagues. Chart data can also be included as part of Cascade Pilot PE’s automated report generator. Customized reports can be automatically generated to show elements such as:
