TCPDUMP2XPLOT(1)	    General Commands Manual	      TCPDUMP2XPLOT(1)

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.

EXAMPLES
SEE ALSO
       tcpdump(1), xplot(1)

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	users.	Thanks to Gar-
       ret 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.
