+Ethereal is a network protocol analyzer for Unix. It allows you to
+examine data from a live network, or from a capture file on disk.
+One of the goals of the project is to have an application that is
+similar in functionality to Network Associates' NetXRay or the AG
+Group's EtherPeek. Although these are both excellent products,
+neither of them runs under Unix.
