arXiv:2605.29941v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Critical networking workflows require high-fidelity packet captures (PCAPs) for testing, security analysis, and protocol validation, not just statistical flow-level summaries. Recent packet generators have demonstrated protocol-constrained PCAP synthesis, but they universally decode directly to raw packet fields. That interface entangles learned behavioral choices with deterministic protocol consequences, which forces packet realization to depend on post-hoc heuristic repair. We identify this decode interface as the fundamental bottleneck and p
The increasing complexity and volume of network traffic necessitates more efficient and accurate methods for analysis and synthesis, driving innovation in AI-powered compression and generation techniques.
Improving the fidelity and efficiency of network traffic analysis is critical for cybersecurity, infrastructure testing, and the development of robust network protocols, affecting all digital industries.
The proposed approach moves beyond raw packet field decoding, enabling more precise and behaviorally consistent synthesis of network traffic, which could significantly enhance testing and security analysis.
