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
        http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development
  - include it in the ethereal wish list at
        http://wiki.ethereal.com/WishList
    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.
 
Regards,
 Francisco

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,

Usman Javaid
