Sorry for my ambiguity within my question! More concisely my target
material are captured SIP packets, comparison should be carried within
some text fields of them. Like Cseq, Call-ID etc.
The feature I would like to implement can be described as: to choose one
SIP packet from ethereal, right click, the option "Compare in
transaction/dialog manner with" is added, after choose one, then click
into another comparable SIP packet, then a window pop out showing result
something like "They are in the same transaction/dialog" or "They are
NOT in the same ...." And this result is coming from corresponding text
fields' comparison.
Looking forward to hints and help, many thanks!
