Hi,

 

This is a newbie question – a pointer in the right direction will be much appreciated.

 

I wrote a standard Linux client/server echo application using TCP.  This is usually the first application in books on socket programming.  The application works great and I run the echo server on port 9999.  I can capture the traffic with Ethereal with no problem.

 

What I would like to do is give a name to this application running on port 9999 just like http on port 80.  Suppose I name the application “xyz.”  When I look at the captured packet (top window) that contains the echoed data, I see the protocol as TCP.  I would like to see the protocol as “xyz.”  How do I do this?

 

Many thanks,

Joe
