Title: VoIP Call Analaysis (Call-Flow): Customization
Hi,
 
The 
way ethereal evolves through the different versions is not pre-specified as in 
other -maybe commercial-
products that have roadmaps. It is more like "whenever someone implements 
something it is included". So
there 
is no foreseen customization. If you want it, you've got two 
possibilities:
  
- download the sources, write them yourself and, if you want them included in 
the mainstream ethereal 
    -and share the results of your work- send them to 
the development list; more information at
  - include it in the ethereal wish list at
    and wait for somebody to implement it -which might be 
very late, or never-. If you simultaneously
    ask for it in the development 
list -or even in this one- you might get it 
faster
 
This 
said, the tool you refer to will use IP addresses or equipment names following 
the generic 
configuration for ethereal - under view, name resolution, network layer-. 
And it is possible to 
print 
out the generated call flows, but only in an ASCII file -which should make 
sense it you use
a 
fixed-width font to watch it-. I do believe this is possible in the current 
released version but, since
it is 
a somehow recent change, you might need to wait for the following 
one.

  Dear All, 
  Thanks to the Ethereal team for 
  providing the VoIP Call Analysis Tool (Statistics menu) to generate the 
  Call-Flow. I am interested to customize the output generated by that tool e.g. 
  to replace the IP addresses with the Equipment Names in the Call-Flow or to 
  print out the generated Call-Flow etc...
  I would like to know, whether 
  the desired customization is currently possible? If not, is it preview in the 
  coming ethereal versions? 
  All suggestions and directions 
  are welcomed. Thanking well in advance. 
  Regards,
