hi Actually i worked on tcpdump once and used the shell script to organize the packets and send them to database. But that was also very timetaking and slow process. Then i learned that language make a lot of difference to the processing speed. They old me if i will use java to organize then it would be a lot faster and quick. So it depends largely on the language you are choosing and the how you are handling the packets. In my case i used to put packets in different file on time basis and then transfering the one by one into the database. So in my case the transferring to database was the real problem that took time. I would love to hear the details from you sandeep. ----- Have a Good Day Rahi Jain
