DNS producer recordings

dns-raw-tree.json and dns-family-tree.json retain protocol trees from actual official Wireshark 4.4.19 TShark output on generated, offline captures. They contain no external network traffic. The projection keeps frame, the DNS-family protocol tree and its corresponding raw tuple unchanged.

The first capture has two UDP responses whose displayed a.b.example names have different wire labels (a.b / example versus a / b / example), the same two responses in one TCP frame, and one response reassembled from two TCP segments. Each response contains one compressed-owner IN A answer, 192.0.2.9.

The family capture has three IPv4 UDP responses, using source and destination ports 53, 5353 and 5355 respectively. Each has ID 1, 2 or 3, flags 0x8180, one IN A question for a.example, and one compressed-owner IN A answer with TTL 60 and address 192.0.2.9. The mDNS answer class is 0x8001 (cache flush); the other classes are 0x0001.

The verified family acquisition command is:

tshark -n -r dns-family.pcap -T json -x --no-duplicate-keys \
  -Y 'dns || mdns || llmnr' -J 'frame dns mdns llmnr'

The three family names identify separate protocol trees and raw tuples; all three trees expose child fields named dns.*. Filtering only dns omits mDNS and LLMNR. Lowercase -j filters nested question/answer trees; uppercase -J includes them.
