This message is not directly related to HTML output, but anyway (more
related to PSML output, I guess) ...

One thing I have been thinking about is to being able to print out of a
"call-flow" where you see the messages sent
between different ip-addresses or similar. By applying some display filters
you could get a quite nice picture of what is
happening.
I think that a "call-flow" output could be much more useful than the normal
summary printout in many cases.

I made a very simple program a while ago that takes the summary-printout
from tethereal and generates a
very primitive but useful call-flow. It is actually not limited to any
specific protocol (H.323, SIP, SMTP, ...) as long as there is
something in the source/destination columns and so on. An there could be a
mixture of protocols also.
I guess that PSML could be a better alternative to use if one want to
generate a call-flow in an application separate from Ethereal. But I was
actually thinking that it might be good to output to a call-flow directly
from Ethereal.

I have attached an example printout to show a little what I mean, even if
the attached printout is not really
what I want, but was just some experiment. The text above the arrows is
corresponding to the information in the Info-column.
This specific example is based on the summary printout from the old H.323
plugin.
The new H.323 disectors would probably give more information for the
different messages.
