Honest question: Is there an audience for this besides network engineers?
For anything else, I'd prefer either a human-readable text-based protocol or something like Protobuf that generates (de)serializing code from a schema definition.
- GTP 8y agoHonest answer: yes.
- Arkanosis 8y agoIt makes a lot of sense for any kind of binary format as well (eg. gzip: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952 https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc1952).
- laveur 8y agoAbsolutely. I've had to implement protocols from a spec using various guides that had really bad diagrams of how the data is laid out. This tool could have made them a lot better. And as others have pointed out its extremely useful for binary file type diagrams.
