MetaGeek Eye P.A.MetaGeek’s wireless visual packet analysis product has exited beta.

Eye P.A. crunches.pcap packet capture files of 802.11 wireless traffic generated by WireShark or other packet capture programs to present data in multi-layer pie charts.

Eye P.A. transforms raw packet capture streams into a "visual network conversation", highlighting Bytes, Packets, and Time. Captured data is visually aggregated into multi-colored charts that can be clicked into to drill down further into data.

Eye P.A. also includes export to Wireshark.
