If robots can upload captures to pcapr.net, one way to provide them in a similar way to pcapr.net is to upload the 
non-private ones to pcapr.net....  (If we had our own viewer, we'd presumably not include the private ones there.)

I don't know whether pcapr.net accepts files that aren't in pcap (or pcap-ng?) format, however; the bug database has a 
number of non-pcap/non-pcap-ng captures.

pcapr.net *does*, however, impose "a restriction of 4048 KB or 500 packets in the uploaded pcap", so that might not 
work for all the captures in the bug database.

Presumably you mean "what protocols are used", as pcapr doesn't take captures with a *single* protocol, they tag them 
with all the protocols used.
