Re: Abillity to sniff serial line with wireshark?

Hello J.Büsch,

You can use a named pipe for sniffing serial, but you need to
packetize the serial data first.

Here is the Wiki page about pipes:
http://wiki.wireshark.org/CaptureSetup/Pipes

I wrote a command line utility in C to packetize BACnet MS/TP serial
data, save in pcap format to a file, and forward to a named pipe on
Linux or Windows:
