Suggestion: Pcap-over-IP client support in tcpdump

[Erik Hjelmvik <erik.hjelmvik () gmail com>]

Hi all,

I've been using tcpdump and netcat to achieve what I call
"Pcap-over-IP", as described here:
http://www.netresec.com/?page=Blog&month=2011-09&post=Pcap-over-IP-in-NetworkMiner

This is a very simple solution that allows me to capture network
traffic from remote devices, such as firewalls etc.
However, it would be even better if tcpdump would have native support
for Pcap-over-IP so that I wouldn't have to use netcat.

What do you guys think? Would it be relevant to implement a
Pcap-over-IP client in tcpdump?
