To understand how many drones are communicating with the control unit (ground control, for example, a remote controller), it is helpful to concisely display the data stream. This includes that elements of this data stream that concern the controlling are already decoded with the help of the analysis software (here Wireshark) and their function is revealed.
If you don’t do that, you’re looking at a “raw data stream” with a bunch of cryptic UDP datagrams.
Wireshark is a software for comprehensive analysis of data and network traffic.
MAVLink (Micro Air Vehicle Link) is a protocol for communicating with so-called unmanned vehicles, such as unmanned aerial systems. In technical jargon, flying drones are also referred to as ummanned aerial systems and ummanned aerial vehicles (UAV).
I have already created the plugin using the sources from https://mavlink.io.
