4. Real-Time Monitoring
- β WebSocket connection for instant updates
- β HTTP polling fallback (5 second interval)
- β Connection status indicator
- β Auto-refresh on visibility change
5. Demo Mode
- β Auto-generates packets every 3 seconds
- β Simulates real traffic when idle
- β Shows all animation capabilities
