VisualEther Examples

Actual VisualEther output. Each example opens an interactive Capture Atlas — a tree of captures and sessions rendered straight from a Wireshark PCAP — where you drill into any session as a sequence diagram or a PDF. Where the case studies walk through a guided Claude ↔ VisualEther investigation, these are the raw diagrams themselves: drop-in proof of what VisualEther produces from a capture.

5G NR Radio (UE-side): RRC, RLC, PDCP, MAC

UE-side 5G NR air-interface captures from three COTS modems — Motorola Edge 30 Pro, Google Pixel 6a, and a SIMCom SIM8262E-M2. The atlas opens each modem's sessions across the RRC, PDCP, RLC and MAC layers; drill in for interactive sequence diagrams and PDFs.

5G Core NGAP: srsRAN gNB ↔ Open5GS AMF

NG Application Protocol signaling between an srsRAN gNB and an Open5GS AMF over a ZMQ test rig — NG Setup and UE-associated procedures captured as bare NGAP (DLT 152), laid out session by session.

SIP + RTP: registration, calls, and media

Six SIP/RTP captures — registrations, dialogs, and RTP media streams, including a call over TCP. The atlas groups sessions by outcome across sip-registration, sip-dialog, and rtp-stream; open any dialog as a sequence diagram.

BGP: OPEN, UPDATE, KEEPALIVE, NOTIFICATION

A BGP peering session end to end — the OPEN handshake and capability negotiation, UPDATE route advertisements, KEEPALIVEs, and NOTIFICATION teardown — rendered as a sequence diagram.

MySQL: handshake and query execution

The MySQL client/server protocol — connection handshake and authentication, then query execution with request/response framing — as a sequence diagram over the TCP session.

Nick Russo PCAP Library: 1000+ captures

A companion collection: 1000+ Wireshark captures across routing, switching, IP services, MPLS, tunneling, multicast, management, IoT/wireless, and SDN — rendered by VisualEther from the late Nick Russo's educational packet-capture library.

The explore FXT templates that turn the Nick Russo captures into these diagrams are open source — browse them at eventhelix/nick-russo-fxt on GitHub.
