Summary
PCAP-LM, described by Xavier Marjou of Orange, rewrites network packet captures as compact symbolic text so AI assistants can read an entire capture in one pass. Using a "PacketGlyphs" notation with run-length encoding and token merging, typical captures shrink roughly 800 times versus Wireshark's verbose text output.
