Hello Sebastien. I second your proposal. As for whether this is a Mihini project, well, you could see it as: - A Mihini project because it relates to the M3DA protocol, and M3DA is currently in Mihini - A Koneki project because it is a tool - A Paho project because it relates to the M3DA protocol, and M2M protocols are treated in Paho Either way, it is an Eclipse M2M project, and interesting J Nicolas.

Like the protobuf-plugin for Wireshark [2], it could be useful to have dissector plugins for the various protocols we support (e.g. OMA-DM, MQTT, M3DA, ...) in order to expose a human readable output of a packet or a stream. I know Lua can be used for scripting Wireshark but I can't say if you could use that layer for developping plugins [3] (could be handy for M3DA though). Not sure if Wireshark being developed outside of the Eclipse foundation as GPL project is an issue but I think that is something that could be really useful especially for new comers that wants to see what is really exchanged between nodes or for dissecting a sample communication during a presentation (better than showing a TS or a RFC ;)). This might more of a Paho features than a Mihini one after thinking more about it but the question was asked on that list.
