Document the marker feature following the gns3-documentation standard: overview, Mermaid architecture and business-process diagrams, API endpoint tables, request/response and field reference, error responses, and notes covering the key design points — immutable name (rename = delete + create), global-prefix reservation, read-only inherited markers, render hints (color / highlight_duration), supported node types, and persistence. Indexed under Features in docs/README.md.

## Features
|
|
|
|
### Controller + Compute Setup (`features/compute-controller-setup.md`)
|
|
Architecture and minimum configuration for setting up GNS3 Controller with remote Compute nodes. Covers compute node config, controller registration, and multi-compute deployment.
|
|
|
|
### Statistics API (`features/statistics-api.md`)
|
|
Aggregated server statistics API (`GET /v3/statistics`) for monitoring dashboards. Collects compute resources, project/node/link counts, and Web Wireshark container status in a single request.
|
|
|
|
### VNC WebSocket Console (`features/vnc-websocket-console.md`)
|
|
Browser-based VNC console access via WebSocket. The Controller acts as WebSocket-to-WebSocket relay, and Compute bridges WebSocket to TCP for QEMU/Docker VMs. Supports noVNC clients.
|
|
|
|
### API Error Responses (`features/api-error-responses.md`)
|
|
Unified error response format across all GNS3 API endpoints. Documents HTTP status codes, error types, and client-side error handling patterns.
|
|
|
|
### Web Wireshark (`features/web-wireshark-business-process.md`)
|
|
Web-based packet capture analysis using Docker + xpra HTML5 client. Zero-install Wireshark experience directly in the browser, integrated with GNS3 topologies.
|
|
|
|
### Marker (Traffic Insight) (`features/marker-traffic-insight.md`)
|
|
Real-time traffic insight via per-link BPF markers and project-level inherited definitions. A marker taps a link in uBridge, emitting match notifications and pcap capture on BPF hit; definitions fan out to every capable link automatically.
|
