| Fair enough.
|
|
| What ethereal would need are two new features:
| 1, Clicking on the packet list should bring up a popup menu
| where one can
| select :
| Filter/Match This Conversation
| This should at least support TCP and UDP to start with.
Ideally, one should have the ability to choose which conversation to follow
(Ethernet/IP/TCP-UDP/etc). This could be handled by either linking the
conversation to the transport protocol, or by providing a stack of
conversations to a given protocol, where one could hide high-level protocol
conversations when right-clicking on a lower-level protocol entry.
| 2, Ethereal should also have a new feature for ALL filter
| popup menus :
| Filter trace in new window
| which would create the filter, save all packets matching
| the filter to a
| temporary file named something like
| /tmp/<original_name>-<filter_string>.cap
| and then launch a new instance of ethereal loading the
| filtered capture
| file.
How about only recording packet *offsets* to a temporary file?
