It was so easy, in fact, that it already seems to be there.

Statistics -> Flow Graph.

Thx for the information :-) :-)
I checked the 'Statistics -> Flow graph' optioin
in Wireshark(Ethereal). It seems to be very nice !!

Good link ! Thx.

Interesting :-)
I wonder the reason/need for this 'Callflow Sequence
Diagram Generator ' utility if Wireshark(Ethereal)
has support in its 'Statistics -> Flow Graph' option !!

I checked the 'Callflow' utility, it seems to be a
collection of awk and shell scripts that produce
callflow sequence diagram from the captured
logs of ethereal(Wireshark) protocol analyzer.

Can you lemme know the unique features
that are provided by 'Callflow' utility in comparison
to the features offered by the 'Flow Graph' that
comes along with the Wireshark(Ethereal)
protocol analyzer ?

Was callflow developed to overcome some of the
limitations of the Flow Graph feature provided by
Wireshark(Ethereal) protocol analyzer ?
Any ideas ?

Thx in advans,
