Stats

Ranked issues, correlated findings, endpoint and conversation summaries, protocol hierarchy, and object export.

The Stats tab applies your current display filter and combines classic packet summaries with PacketSafari's ranked issue views.

Packet statistics and ranked findings in PacketSafari

What you can inspect

  • Ranked rule matches with severity, domain, and detail panels
  • Correlated connection issues and call issues when post-index detectors produced grouped findings
  • Endpoint and conversation summaries for the currently visible traffic slice
  • Protocol hierarchy and distribution summaries
  • RTP stream quality comparison when an RTP statistics tap is available
  • Exported objects such as HTTP or SMB file artifacts when available

Why this view matters

  • It is the fastest way to see what changed after you narrowed traffic with a display filter.
  • It surfaces higher-level issues without forcing you to inspect packets one by one.
  • It links grouped findings back to the connections and packets that caused them.

Typical workflow

  1. Apply a packet filter or open a specialist tab first.
  2. Switch to Stats to see which rules, issues, hosts, or conversations dominate that slice.
  3. Open rule or issue details to inspect reasons, confidence, and related connections.
  4. Pivot back into packets or connections from the detail actions.

RTP media quality

When RTP stream statistics are available, Stats presents a bounded quality overview before loading detailed analysis for one stream. The overview compares streams with both observed packet-loss and mean-jitter measurements, prioritizes the most relevant plotted streams, and keeps the selected stream visible.

Select a stream to review exact endpoints, payload type, packet count, loss, mean jitter, detailed jitter samples, and reconstructed audio when the payload is available and supported. Use View packets to apply the stream filter and inspect the captured media packets.

The plot is an investigation aid, not a voice-quality verdict. Missing metrics, capture gaps, codec support, one-way visibility, and capture position can limit what PacketSafari can measure or reconstruct. See VoIP and RTP analysis.

Use this tab when you want a ranked overview. Use Infrastructure when you want inferred host and role modeling instead of packet-count summaries.
