• Abstract: Detecting failures via analysis of Packet Capture (PCAP) files is crucial for maintaining network reliability and performance, especially in large-scale telecommunications networks. Traditional methods, relying on manual inspection and rule-based systems, are often too slow and labor-intensive to meet the demands of modern networks. In this paper, we present PCAPVision, a novel approach that utilizes computer vision and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) to detect failures in PCAP files. By converting PCAP data into images, our method leverages the robust pattern recognition capabilities of CNNs to analyze network traffic efficiently. This transformation process involves encoding packet data into structured images, enabling rapid and accurate failure detection. Additionally, we incorporate a continual learning framework, leveraging automated annotation for the feedback loop, to adapt the model dynamically and ensure sustained performance over time. Our approach significantly reduces the time required for failure detection. The initial training phase uses a Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) dataset, demonstrating the model's effectiveness and generalizability when using transfer learning on Mobility Management services. This work highlights the potential of integrating computer vision techniques in network analysis, offering a scalable and efficient solution for real-time network failure detection.
