: echo 192.168.1.50-192.168.1.100 | aggregate -irange
192.168.1.50/31
192.168.1.52/30
192.168.1.56/29
192.168.1.64/27
192.168.1.96/30
192.168.1.100/32

so:

tethereal -i eth1 -b 200 -a filesize:20000 -w 'SAMPLEa' -f "ip and (net
192.168.1.50/31 or net 192.168.1.52/30 or net 192.168.1.56/29 or net
192.168.1.64/27 or net 192.168.1.96/30 or net 192.168.1.100/32)"
