Yes ! We had the wireshark plugin idea in our whishlist. That would be really helpful to user trying to debug communication issues.

Hi all,
I think the community can benefit from using a network protocol analyzer like Wireshark [1] for debugging or analysis M2M streams but they would likely be binary encoded making them tricky to inspect.
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.
