Hello.  Consider our VoIP situation where you have phones inside a NAT and phones outside the NAT and a SIP/NAT/Proxy kind of device in the middle set up in our lab.  We capture several points simultaneously to see that the flow and NAT/Proxy stuff is happening correctly or not.  Thus you would have the example flow in the attached capture.  The only point of that explanation was to give one such scenario where you would have both inside and outside addresses in the flow.

 

Now using Ethereal statistics->VoIP-Graph function, I graph all three conversations in the example capture.  This works great, except that the order of the columns is not quite what I want to see.  I see two 192.168.1.0 addresses then two 54.20.1.0 addresses followed by another 192.168.1.0 address.  I would naturally prefer to get all my 192.168.1.0 addresses to one side.

 

My request would to allow the user to now re-order the columns to his liking.  The most intuitive way to me to do this would to be able to grab (click and drag) the column header (IP address) and move it to the position I want.  This probably means tricky coding, but I feel this would be the nicest solution for users of Ethereal.  Another alternative would to be to define the columns positions before creating the graph.

 

Best regards,

Regards,

Kenneth
