Hey everyone, I'm sure many of you are somewhat familar with tcpreplay which I currently maintain (http://tcpreplay.sf.net for those of you not). Lately I've recieved a few requests to add support for decoding of packets to STDOUT as they are sent on the wire.
Obviously, I have no wish to reinvent the wheel, and I immediately started looking at figuring out a way to optionally link, include, etc the tcpdump code. Turns out that this appears to be a lot more complicated then I had hoped. So I figured I'd email the list and try to find out: 1) If anyone has done something like this before and had some suggestions? 2) If any plans have been made to modularize/librarize the code so that the decoders could be used in other applications without declaring a bunch of global variables? 3) If someone has a better idea of how to accomplish the above goal.
