Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Resend: Another new feature for Ethereal.
These are great, Greg.
I checked both this and the find patch out last night. The new find
functionality is great, and works exactly as I'd hoped. Very useful indeed.
It'd be great to see both these host statistics and Ronnie's Top Talkers
list feature both implemented in Ethereal - I'd love to be able to see
both information by host and by conversation.

updated the file showconversations.c to cleanup memory by issuing a

Many users of Sniffer like the Matrix option - Which allows you to see
the conversations between different layers. I have been working on a
new Tools Menu option called "Show Conversations". I know it is really
not the correct technical term at each layer of the OSI but it should
be close enough to allow users to identify it's purpose.
There are 4 options.
Conversations by MAC address - This is a table of the conversations
between 2 unique MAC addresses.
Conversations by IP address - This is a table of the conversations
between 2 unique IP addresses.
Conversations by TCP address - This is a table of the conversations
between 2 unique IP/Ports.
Conversations by IPX address - This is a table of the conversations
between 2 unique net/node/sockets.
Each table is column sortable. There are several common columns for
each table.
Status - This column indicates whether the filter on this conversation
is currently on or off.
Address - First address in the table
Address - Second address in the table
Packets - The number of packets in this conversation
Filter - The filter string to be applied if this item is selected.
Additionally the TCP table adds 2 port columns, and IPX adds instead 2
socket columns and replaces the Address columns with a network and
node column. See attached document for a better description.
When a show conversations option is selected the existing filter is
read so that the new filter that will be built by the table will be
appended. Also the table will search the current filter to determine
if previous table filters have already been applied and will indicate
that status in the status column. Users can add and remove filters
dynamically and when clicking the OK button the filter will be applied
and reflected in the filter text window of the main screen. Multiple
items can be added or removed dynamically. Also if the user clicks on
the reset button on the main window the filter will be reset and the
tables will also reflect this change.
The attached files are of the current CVS on 8-6-03. I have built and
tested on Windows platforms with GTK 1.3. All files/patches will be
located in the ethereal/gtk directory.
Please consider this addition to Ethereal.
