----------------------
* change user and drop privileges. Perhaps use also capabilities.
* identify nodes from protocol window. It could be done by maintaining a
node tree for every global protocol.
* show all node stats in node window
* find a way to record both ports of a link/connection
* revise preferences dialog; allow filtering out netbios names
* Ability to set per node preferences. Like setting an hour long
averaging time only for the router.
* Ability to manually place nodes. It's dependent on the above.
Once is done you will be able to open and save your own
diagrams.
* Make OSI level decoding consistent even with encapsulation. Multiple
protocols should be shown comma separated at the proper level, instead of
being incorrectly bumped up. Example: "ETHII, LLC-SNAP -> IP", instead of
"ETHII -> LLC-SNAP -> IP".
Issues in the source code
-------------------------
* rewrite names handling. Do only packet extraction at capture time, name
resolution at display time and only for the chosen address.
* use glib datastructs everywhere, instead of a mix of glib and in-house.
* refactor stop handling; separate clearing data from updating.
* Why am I using a global "interface" and a second "device"
in capture.c? Check that I can just use interface.
* Use a GArray instead of a fixed array for the protocols
stack.
