I got interested, and that is dangerous ;-)

Here is a command script (Linux/Unix, but you can use cygwin on windows 
and it should work fine.) that does just that, and I must say it might 
be very useful.

I also enclose an example output from it for the afs sample capture on 
the ethereal web site (the network here is boring.)
