NAME

     tcpdump2xplot — converts tcpdump output to xplot input for analysis

SYNOPSIS

     tcpdump2xplot [-?] [-c] [-help] [-list[filename]] [-plot[filename]] [-q] [-r] [-s] [-t] [-w]

DESCRIPTION

     tcpdump2xplot takes the output of
           tcpdump -tt -S ...
     and plots it in terms of sequence-number versus time, with other info displayed (e.g., the TCP window,
     acks, etc.).

OPTIONS

     -?, -help prints a help message.  -c, ``cumulative'', adds all the data coming from a server.
     -list[filename] prints the list of generated plot files to filename.  -plot[filename] plots the packets
     from filename. The filename may be built out of a hostname and port number, e.g.: abc.def.com:1234. The
     default is
           fromhost:fromport-tohost:toport.xplot
     where fromhost, fromport, thost, toport are extracted as conversations from the tcpdump data.  -q means
     "quiet" --- no visible output.  -r means use relative sequence numbers.  -s means break up conversations on
     TCP syns.  -t convert time to decimal number of seconds.  -w plots the TCP window.

BUGS

     tcpdump2xplot may not deal properly with output from tcpdump that is not TCP.  Either filter to only tcp or
     be careful.

HISTORY

     The tcpdump2xplot has been contributed by xplot.org users.  Thanks to Garret Wollman for contributing the
     original tcpdump2xplot.pl script and thanks to Eric Prud'hommeaux (@ w3.org) for making
     <http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/config/tcpdump2xplot.pl> available, a much improved version.  The one included
     here is a slightly improved version of Eric's.
