Re: Re: pcap diff tool

[nicolas.raoul () gmail com]

Hi Nikhil,

Indeed, pcapdiff and its derivative TPCAT are good at detecting discrepancies in the sequence of packets. It says for 
instance: Packet #147 of capture A is not present in capture B.

The original poster wants to "see how the traffic differs", which probably means more than what pcapdiff does.

What would be great would be a program that not only says which packet is different, but also lets the user check what 
is different *inside* the packet itself.

Use case: I am currently comparing two CIFS implementations, and even though the packets sequence is the same, the 
implementations produce slightly different packets, so such a tool would be extremely convenient.

Cheers,
Nicolas Raoul
