Hello,

Not sure if this is a right mailing list for the question, but here goes:

My company makes hardware that transmits and captures test traffic. The user
wants to run Ethereal and watch captured traffic 'live', at 10 to 100
packets per second. I need to open Ethereal, run our software in parallel,
and push incremental updates to Ethereal through a file or memory. Another
option is to make Ethereal pull updates periodically from some source.

Is there a 'standard' way to do it? If not, what approach would you
recommend?

thanks,
Sergey
