 Thanks for your concern, but my requirement is to monitor the QoS
parameters of a client interface. For this purpose I am capturing all the
packets in the client using pcap and sending all the header part of the
packets to the monitoring system for calculating the parameters and
displaying it. 
  I just wanted to know if there is any better method of doing this, or
tcpdump provides any probes for capturing and sending all the information
to a remote client.
