PacketSafari

Enterprise packet investigation · Complex protocols

Understand the packets your systems still depend on.

Developers, sysadmins, SREs, telecom engineers, and OT teams can ask a system question and receive a protocol explanation linked to exact frames, filters, streams, fields, and next actions.

Question in plain language

Why did the call fail before media started?

Packet-grounded answerThe signaling path rejects the session before RTP negotiation completes.

Protocol knowledge, operationalized

The protocol may be specialized. The answer should be usable.

Telecom and industrial systems still rely on deep protocol behavior even when few people on the incident bridge can decode it confidently. PacketSafari preserves that expertise in repeatable investigation paths.

SIP · SDP · RTP · IMS

Voice and IMS

Explain call setup, signaling failure, media negotiation, and one-way-audio evidence.

Diameter · NGAP · PFCP · GTP

Mobile core

Follow subscriber, policy, session, and user-plane evidence across complex control paths.

Modbus · DNP3 · CIP · OPC UA · GOOSE · MMS

OT and industrial

Turn operations, signal timelines, and unexpected controllers into reviewable evidence.

DNS · TLS · SMB · RPC · databases

Enterprise systems

Connect application behavior to the protocol exchange and exact implementation action.

From capture to implementation

A purpose-built packet platform, not a generic agent reading a pasted snippet.

Ask the system question

Start with the failed call, subscriber session, controller event, or application symptom.

Discover the evidence

PacketSafari Core Engine and Triage map protocols, connections, anomalies, and exact packet pivots.

Run Triage Modules

Relevant deterministic modules interpret supported traffic instead of sending the entire capture into a model prompt.

Return an actionable answer

Agent explains the exchange, uncertainty, filters, frames, and next implementation check.

SIP and VoIP record validation

Compare platform records with packet-derived call truth.

A CDR, SBC event, or media report is corroborating context—not a substitute for the packet record. Bring both when the question is why a call connected, failed, lost media, or disagrees across systems.

SIP signaling records

Compare call IDs, methods, response codes, routes, retransmissions, and teardown with the packet-derived dialog.

SDP negotiation

Verify offered and selected codecs, addresses, ports, directions, and media changes against the decoded SDP bodies.

RTP and RTCP output

Compare expected media legs, SSRCs, sequence gaps, jitter, direction, and duration with packets visible at each vantage point.

Deployment context

Preserve the deployed voice, proxy, recorder, and mediation versions so mismatched interpretation remains diagnosable.

Prove the ROI in your evaluation

Reduce the hours between “we have a PCAP” and “we know what to change.”

MONTHLY VALUEHours saved per case × cases per month × blended engineering cost
  1. Capture to explanation

    Measure elapsed time from receiving the PCAP to a defensible, packet-linked answer.

  2. Expert escalation hours

    Count specialist hours required before and during the same evaluation cases.

  3. Team handoffs

    Track network, application, vendor, telecom, or OT escalation cycles per incident.

  4. Evidence to implemented fix

    Measure the time between finding the relevant exchange and validating a change.

  5. Independent investigations

    Measure how quickly engineers become productive without becoming protocol experts.

PacketSafari does not publish an unsupported universal time-saving percentage. Measure the same captures, questions, and acceptance criteria against the customer’s current workflow.
