Hi all,
 
I've been having fun with ethereal esp while I was
doing my CCNA, ethereal really helped me visually
understand the world of TCP/IP.
 
However, now there is a requirement which at the
moment, perhaps due to my limited understanding, seems
ethereal is unable to help me.  I wish to analyze,
say, OSPF packets.  And out of these packets I want to
extract some parameters for detailed analysis.  I want
to line these parameters in a table for further
inspection.
 
At the moment, ethereal can do the filtering, however,
I have to look at the parameter of interest frame by
frame.  Is there anyway to specify the parameters
within, and line them as a table?  
 
It seems I may not be able to avoid programming using
libpcap to fulfill this requirement.  Or have I missed
out something?  Appreciate your comments on this.
 
Cheers,
Chee Leong
