Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Vasudev Kamath <vasudev@debian.org>
* Package name : protocol
Version : 0.1
Upstream Author : Luis MartinGarcia <luis.mgarc@gmail.com>
* URL : http://www.luismg.com/protocol/
* License : GPL-3.0
Programming Lang: Python
Description : a simple command line tool for displaying standard network protocol headers
Protocol is a simple command-line tool that serves two purposes:
- Provide a simple way for engineers to have a look at standard network protocol headers, directly
from the command-line, without having to google for the relevant RFC or for ugly header image
diagrams.
- Provide a way for researchers and engineers to quickly generate ASCII RFC-like header diagrams for
their own custom protocols.
- why is this package useful/relevant?
It is useful for observing headers of Standard Network protocol without going to need to go through
wiki page for protocol or from RFC documents.
It is also helpful to generate RFC like ASCII header diagram for custom protocol.
- how do you plan to maintain it?
For now myself, might consider later to move it to Python application team.

It sounds quite useful though.
