most of the telecom/wireless network elements in deployment don’t have X-windows on them installed and will just have core linux kernel installed.. and sometime we want to watch particular protocol details on network elements which don’t support X-windows, which means we can not use wireshark.
tshark helps to get this going..
you can watch live traffic using tshark command.
tshark -i -R
for e.g. tshark -i any -R sctp would help you to watch sctp traffic live hitting the box on all available interfaces on system
