The default format is standard pcap format.
look at www.tcpdump.org for a description on that format. it is quite
simple.

If the kind of analysis you need would be of general interest
for others you might consider adding it as a preferences controllable option
to standard ethereal.

the udp header, the timestamp etc.) from every packet captured, or tell me
the details about ethereal file format?
