You can have a look at udpdump, which doesn't use TCP but UDP, but it may fit your purpose.

Hello folks,

Is there some way to read PCAP-over-IP in Wireshark? I.e. read a PCAP stream over a TCP socket.

Currently, the best solution to read PCAP-over-IP in Wireshark is by using netcat to read the PCAP stream and forward it to Wireshark's STDIN like this:
nc localhost 57012 | wireshark -k -i -

But it would be much nicer if this data could be read directly without having to use netcat. Maybe as an extcap interface?

Best regards,
Erik
