It seems that most of the gui-based network tools I'm forced to periodically interact with rely upon that term with at least some success.

It might, although I might think of a "report" as being a summary table or graph that pops up in a window rather than something that gives information for every packet.  Do those tools use "report" for options that write out, for example, a dissection summary or detail for all or specified packets?

(Also, for the SSL session keys, would "Export" or "Save" or some other verb be appropriate?)
