Press Release Summary:

Press Release Body: Colasoft, a dedicator in network analysis field, recently
released version 6.9 of its flagship product - Capsa, a packet sniffer software
designed for network monitoring and troubleshooting purpose. Two new protocols,
Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) and Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) now can be
recognized and decoded. This latest version also improved user's experience based on
user's feedbacks.

What's New in Capsa 6.9

Support ISL Protocol Decoding: Cisco Inter-Switch Link (ISL) is a Cisco
Systems proprietary protocol that maintains VLAN information as traffic flows
between switches and routers, or switches and switches. It is a protocol to
encapsulate traffic from different vlans, and tag them for latter specification. Now
all trunk traffic between switch -- switch or router -- switch can be decoded and
the context inside of the trunk link can be analyzed.

Support FCoE Protocol Decoding: Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) is a
proposed mapping of Fibre Channel frames over selected full duplex IEEE 802.3
networks. This allows Fibre Channel to leverage 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks while
preserving the Fibre Channel protocol. The specification is supported by a large
number of network and storage vendors, including Cisco, EMC, HP, IBM, Intel, and Sun
Microsystems.

View IP address and Hostname in One Tab:Capsa will automatically resolve
hostname and display it in its interface. In version 6.8 users may view only the
hostname or the IP address at a time, if they want to view another value, they need
to switch manually. In 6.9 users can directly view both the IP address and the
hostname at the same time, which provides correlation between the two values

"We'll always take into consideration good suggestions from our customers", Said Roy
Luo, the CEO of Colasoft, "and include them in future releases to ensure highest
satisfaction."

"It's the easiest product to use. The support is excellent and the features added in
subsequent releases are always well thought-out and beneficial to our company." Eric
Gomez, CSO, InfoSight, Inc.
