Which Wireshark feature shows per-protocol data volumes and packet counts?

• A. Statistics → Conversations
• B. Telemetry → Packet Metrics
• C. View → Packet List Customization
• D. Statistics → Protocol Hierarchy

Answer: (D)

Viewing how much traffic each protocol accounts for is shown in the Protocol Hierarchy statistics. This feature presents a hierarchical tree of all observed protocols, and for every protocol (and subprotocol) it lists the number of packets and the total bytes, often with percentages. That makes it easy to see, at a glance, which protocols dominate the capture and how data is distributed across different protocol layers. You access it by opening Statistics and selecting Protocol Hierarchy.

The other options don’t provide this per-protocol volume breakdown. Conversations summarizes data by end-to-end connections between hosts, not a protocol-by-protocol total. Customizing the packet list affects how individual packets are displayed, not summarizing traffic by protocol. The Telemetry path isn’t a standard way to pull per-protocol data volumes in Wireshark.
