Hi All,

   I have a request for you. I need your help/suggestions for the following issue on flow graph in Wireshark.

  We have a feature called ‘flow graph’ in wireshark as you know. It shows messages in a call flow among each entity with an IP address. We can name each IP address with an entity name through hosts file. This is fine, where each entity(NE,network element) has single IP address for each interface.

  But the issue is with when each NE(Network Element) has different IP addresses for the interface. For example, one NE (XX) will have different IP addresses for different interfaces. So in the Wireshark, in the hosts file, even if we define same host name (NE, XX) to different IP address  it will not plot a flow showing one entity(NE,XX). It will generate a flow showing  different entity (XX). Can you please suggest me how to implement this enhancement where we can see correct flow graph for this? How much time it will take to implement this in Wireshark?

  One more thing is,  can we save flow in a readable format (could be in pdf format)?

 

  Thanks in advance.

 

Thanks,

Govind
