Hi,

Check this out:

$ tshark -r <infile> -q -z sip,stat

 -r to define the capture file to read
 -q be quite, as in don't show packet details
 -z sip,stat is where the magic comes from

Or to get a raw number (on U*IX):

$ tshark -r <infile> -R sip  | wc -l

 - r to define the capture file to read
 - R to filter out the SIP packets
 - wc -l to count the lines, assuming 1 packet = 1 line

Thanks,
Jaap
