I would like to be able to compare captured packets on Ethereal. For
example, by right clicking the selected packet, the function to make
comparison with some other packet will be supplied. Comparison might
base on text checking inside different message fields.


Not all fields are text.
What would the result of the comparison be? "Packets are identical" vs. "packets differ in field X" vs. "packets differ in fields X, and Z"? 

How would you specify the two packets to compare?
