Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] how to send email on event

No real support for that in Wireshark,

What you are describing would be trivial to code in python using pypcap
or something similar.  The Pcap library has wrappers in many languages,
you should be able to choose one you are familiar with (if any)

You could also write the data out to a pcap file, for analysis with
Wireshark after the notification is sent.

Hi,
Due to the way memory is managed in Wireshark (it keeps growing) it
does not make for a good monitoring tool (sooner or later WS will
crash due to lack of memory).

As far as Wireshark goes there's nothing that would allow you to
trigger on a given rate of anything. WS focuses on qualitative not
quantitative analysis.

The other problem is what is "high-broadcast" and how you describe it
in WS terms.

I think you are looking for a monitor/IDS type of program, more than a
 protocol analyzer.
