    Invisible Protocols When Networks Communicate Beyond the Reach of Packet Sniffers

    Most engineers cling to the illusion that packet-level visibility is the final source of truth. It isn’t. Modern distributed networks have evolved to the point where parts of the system remain active, coordinated, and decision-capable even when no observable IP packets exist. Mesh architectures, SDN overlays, and embedded avionics networks increasingly exchange metadata through…
