In the case that this is being called with an address type that
is neither IPv4 or IPv6, make sure that the char array used
to construct the QString is null terminated so that there's no
warning about using addr uninitialized or a possible strlen running
off the end.
The "conversation table" mechanism supports two types of tables, one for
the "Conversations" menu item under "Statistics" and one for the
"Endpoints" menu item under "Statistics". The first of them shows
statistics for conversations at various layers of the networking stack;
the second of them shows statistics for endpoints at various layers of
the networking stack.
The latter is *not* a table of hosts; an endpoint might be a host,
identified by an address at some network level (MAC, IP, etc.), or it
might be a port on a host, identified by an address/port pair.
Some data types, function names, etc. use "host" or "hostlist" or other
terms that imply that an endpoint is a host; change them to speak of
endpoints rather than hosts, using names similar to the corresponding
functions for conversations.
Provide wrapper functions and typedefs for backwards source and binary
compatibility; mark them as deprecated in favor of the new names.
Clean up some comment errors found in the process.
Allow conversation/endpoint tabs that include IP address and
port number to resolve either or both. Currently IP address
(network) resolution is required to resolve tcp/udp ports.
In order to phase out older versions, we recommed 5.12 as a
minimum Qt version going forward. Although build support for
5.10 and 5.11 is not being removed at this point, it might
be for 4.x at a later time.
Instead of letting the model do the filtering and having
a bunch of exceptions in cases where columns are hidden
in between other columns, the model will present all columns
all the time, and it is the job of a top-level proxy to
filter out columns not required for current display
Allow the traffic columns to automatically sort on secondary columns if
applicable. e.g. the address and port column for TCP and UDP, or the
secondary address for conversations
Retapping can have some side-effects and was done in
an overflowing way. Reducing the number of times retapping
is required and done, and also giving control for taps
reload to TrafficTab
Allow the option to save the data from the traffic dialogs
as raw data and enable it as the default option for 4.0. The
option to display the data with pretty formatting is still
available.
The current model makes it very hard to extend the traffic tables
with new functionality. For instance, having a total view column
additionally to the normal columns when filtered.
This change removes the QTreeWidget and moves to a more generic
approach using QAbstractListModel elements.
It is implemented in thtree parts:
- ATapDataModel implements the basic collection and handling of
the tap data information, as well as updating if new data is
becoming available
- EndpointDataModel / ConversationDataModel handles the display
and representation of the data
- Implementing TrafficTab as a TabWidget which will handle the
adding/removing of new protocol tabs
