Hello,

	I'm trying to find a way to get a summary of traffic flowing
across a router. I can capture the packets I want with snoop:

	snoop gateway myrouter

What I then want to do is find out how much various protocols make up
to total traffic. Say for a 30 minute period, I would get a graph, or
even just numbers:

		%total	No. bytes	No. Packets
	HTTP:	20.1	15000000	235
	NFS:	5.2	 4520211	2567
	DNS:	.01	    1230	14

It would seem that Ethereal already has much of the code need for
this. Any idea how much work it would be to work walk through the
packets captured and produce such a summary?

If this is a feasible thing to do, I would not mind having a go at it.

Thanks,

	Andy
