Description
Not just a comparison of serialized buffers, but a fine report on data that diverges between two packets.
This feature may support approximate comparisons for certain fields (like timestamps for example).

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the existing packet comparison that compares serialized buffers, then determine how divergent fields and approximate timestamp comparisons should be represented. Done means a defined diff report for packet data, including the proposed approximate-comparison behavior.
