This is very cool! I do not have my lab set up in a way I can test it right now due to a power supply that needs replacement :-(. If I capture on a firewall or router, can the tcp graph be configured to show stuff like:
   inside  inside-fw  outside-fw  outside
     ---syn---->
                       ------syn---->
                       <-- syn ack---
     <--syn ack--

I'd like to use this in teaching firewalls.

Thanks,

I've written a function that lets you visualize any capture. It uses the graph_analyze functions developed by Alejandro for the VoIP calls analysis, but populates the data with generic information taken from the protocol and info columns in the packet list. I've added also a TCP-specific flow graph that, I think, is what is referred in the first item in the general part wishlist as "bounce diagram". The option appears under "Statistics", and has choices for general or TCP graph, and showing
all or only the currently displayed packets.
