Thanks for your input. Can you tell me, is there any library available
on Unix/Linux through which I can capture packets from Unix Sockets.
I don't know of any; the problem is that there aren't any mechanisms that connect to UNIX-domain sockets in a way that allows packet capture, so not only can't libpcap do packet capture of UNIX-domain socket traffic, *no* library can do that.
