My group and I are trying to look at network traffic at a more macroscopic view and are less interested in the contents of packets. We are interested in filtering specific packets out of a large number and logging them. For instance, in some cases we are experiencing software problems that occur seldom over a few days. When they occur we would like to be able to capture LDAP traffic and TCP traffic for the connections being used by LDAP. I guess the ability to set up filtering and to easily display traffic after the fact are essential. My group finds tcpdump harder to setup and use textually. Is there an alternative? Thanks!
