+1 from me for the grouping.
I've been many many times looking for the right preference scrolling
through the long list.
Sometimes its not too obvious. Like M2PA versus MTP2. Or MTP3 versus
M3UA.
One thing I would love to have is a general setting for SS7 to say
how it should display pointcodes. This is something of general to SS7
and applies to MTP3 as well as M3UA as well as MTP3 management
messages and might go up the chain to SUA etc. And similar setting
would be useful for selecting the general SS7 family (ITU versus ANSI
versus whatever other SS7 variant they have invented out there...)
even though this might change per protocol inside the stacking.

[TAB]
for a keyboard animal like me that's a loss...
On the other hand I know that TCAP is an SS7 protocol so *I* would
look there, for someone that does not know what SS7 is how he would
ever know where to look.
And you'd see TCAP next to SCCP next to MTP3 so if you want to change
multiple preferences at once you wouldn't have to go scrolling...
SS7 is not a good example for this... if you do not know what's SS7
you probably won't see any SS7 traffic not even by accident, lest
you'll now or need to know what's TCAP. But my point is that
categorizing protocols can hide many of these from users.
The flat list is easy to search while for the categorized one you
need
to know where the protocol belongs.
What about having an option to "flatten the tree" to search all the
protocols, sorted alphabetically, like today?
Or even a "filter" box to search the list?
