What is it about?
Our article introduces PCAPVision, a new way to quickly and accurately detect network failures by analyzing data packets (PCAP files) from network traffic. Instead of manually checking these packets or using slow traditional methods, we use advanced computer vision and machine learning techniques to convert network data packets into images and, automatically detect issues.

Why is it important?
This approach is crucial because it significantly speeds up the detection of network problems, reducing the time and effort needed to identify and fix issues. Faster detection means less downtime, better network performance, and improved reliability for services like voice, video, messaging, and internet of things. This can save companies a lot of money, provide better experiences for users and enable smart cities, industry 4.0 to new heights.
Perspectives
Looking ahead, PCAPVision can transform how network failures are managed. By continually learning from new data, it stays effective even as networks evolve and grow. This method can be adapted to different types of network services, making it a versatile and pervasive approach for maintaining high performance in various settings, from telecom companies, large data centers and private enterprises. The efficiency and scalability of PCAPVision offer a promising future for accelerating network diagnostics.
