SASL might be a good concept here.

SSL. Just watch the (exagerrated) license issue with OpenSSL.

There is IETF work that does sampling work (more for high level tools that
this sort of capture). I think the area is called PSAMP or something like
that. Yep, here we go:

I'd like to see something like SLP or DNS-SD used, so that if Ethereal is
built with remote capture support, it can automatically find the potential
capture sources.

I think the client and server terms are confusing here. If I understand this,
you want to be able to display multiple capture sources simultaneously on a
single display.

And this means that information from a single source can be displayed on
multiple machines simultaneously.
