Hi list,

I am searching for a tool which extracts out of a given capture file the number of concurrent tcp connections to a given server ip and tcp port.
I'd like to see this number of connections over the time, from the start until the end of the capture.

The idea is to reproduce the number of "connected" sockets the target server had during the capture.
Of course some information from before the start of the capture will be missing, but if the capture is big enough and most connections are short-term (http) this shouldn't matter.

Is it possible to extract this infomation somehow by using ethereal ? If not, does anyone know a tool which is capable of this ?
Or wouldn't this be a nice new ethereal statistics feature ? ;-))

Thanks & regards,
Marcus
