Could you build this?

Partial A dashboard and basic monitoring UI can be vibe-coded on top of existing packet-capture libraries. Real network observability, with accurate high-throughput capture and deep protocol analysis, needs systems and networking expertise.

What it would actually take: The UI and visualizations are standard, but the capture layer needs libpcap or eBPF-based packet processing, protocol dissectors, and efficient storage for time-series flow data. Doing it at line rate and with accurate performance metrics requires networking and kernel-level expertise. Validation needs real traffic and test topologies.
