Re: [Wireshark-dev] Enhancement to Flow graph in Wireshark
Didier, Thanks a lot for quick response. I will give a try now. Where I can see text output of flow graph? Please let me know.

How much time it will take to implement this in Wireshark? Why don't you suffix the hostname with the purpose of the different interfaces? For example, instead of just hostname NE for all the IPs, put the hostnames as NE-oam, NE-sig1, NE-sig2 etc. Would that not meet the requirements?
