Packet Diagram (v<MERMAID_RELEASE_VERSION>+)

Introduction

A packet diagram is a visual representation used to illustrate the structure and contents of a network packet. Network packets are the fundamental units of data transferred over a network.

Usage

This diagram type is particularly useful for network engineers, educators, and students who require a clear and concise way to represent the structure of network packets.

Syntax

packet-beta
start: "Block name" %% Single-bit block
start-end: "Block name" %% Multi-bit blocks
