I have an akka-cluster project:
https://github.com/roclas/akka-distributed-hash
Which is basically a distributed HashMap across the nodes of a cluster.


I want to be able to read (using tcpdump or wireshark or something similar) 
the messages exchanged between actors in different virtual machines.
How could I do it?


Doing a TCP dump, I only see the "cluster messages" but not the messages 
exchanged by different actors in different virtual machines.

If I start a node on port 2551: sbt "run 2551" (will be the master)
and another node on port 2552: sbt "run 2552"
What is actually happening when I do this?:
curl -X PUT http://localhost:8551 --data "hello=333&world=456"

I understand that:

   1. the master node's web service receives de http put request
   2. the master node changes its HashMap and sends a message to the second 
   node's actor so that it updates its hash (<-this is the part that I want to 
   trace)
   3. the second node updates its hash (so it means that the message has 
   been succesfuly received). How haven't I been able to see that message 
   using TCP dump? (I see nothing has been received on port 2552, and I've 
   also done a tcpdump listening to all network interfaces and all ports, and 
   from the moment I send the http put message to the moment when the hash is 
   updated in the second node, no tcp message seem to contain the akka message 
   that the actor in the master node sends to the actor on the second node)


Thank you
