Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Question about endpoints statistics

I'm new to Wireshark, so I think taps (I looked it up in the developer's
manual) is pretty far outside my reach for. Unfortunately I don't have the
opportunity to look into making this tap now. Do you know of such a tap is
available somewhere?

Martin

The Unix+X11 and Windows versions of Wireshark use the same source base, 
with small changes for the GUI; that feature is available independently 
of the platform for which Wireshark was built.

However, it might be useful to have the endpoints information available 
in TShark (on UN*X and Windows); it would probably be possible to 
implement it as a tap.

(This is why a general framework for statistics taps, so that a lot of 
taps can be implemented in Wireshark *and* TShark by code that plugs 
into the Wireshark version of the framework and the TShark version of 
the framework, would be useful - you'd only have to write the statistics 
code once, and the framework would do all the display/output work for 
you, and it'd work in Wireshark and TShark.)
