How do you guys/gals visualize packets as they're flowing through the network?

This is kind of a random question I had come to mind as I was studying for my last CCNP test. What do you all visualize when someone is explaining a problem or new environment to you? Do you imagine layer 3 links a certain way in your head vs layer 2 links? Do you actually see the MAC when you visualize the ethernet frame or maybe you represent different concepts as different colors. Perhaps an OSPF process is green in your head vs EIGRP which is blue... things like that. Thinking about this while studying made me realize that one could probably accelerate their own understanding of how all of the layers of networking function correctly by defining these things explicitly in their head. What do you all think?
