Wireshark · Ethereal-users: [Ethereal-users] automated testing with ethereal

["Oren Mazor" <oren.mazor@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

my question may seem a little strange. I'm using ethereal as a component  
in relatively automated testing of a system. The tricky part is that the  
network is constantly being flooded with packets. the packets have an  
identification field and in most cases are identical. however, when a  
certain event occurs, the identification field changes to signify this.  
then when an event changes, then this field changes some more. is there  
any way to make ethereal display only unique packets based on this field?  
for example, say i have 300 packets. in the first 100 the field is A. in  
the second the field is B, and in the third is C. can I make ethereal only  
show me three packets?

thanks
Oren
