Ethereal capture files are the same as tcpdump capture files, so
anything that can read tcpdump capture files should do.
One possibility is EtherApe:
http://etherape.sourceforge.net/
The introduction at
http://etherape.sourceforge.net/introduction.html
says:
At the present time, EtherApe has enough functionality to be
useful, but it's far from complete. It's still beta software,
and new features and bug fixes are being added all the time.
Here is the list of features, current as of version 0.4.3, in no
particular order:
o Network trafic is displayed graphically. The more "talkative"
a node is, the bigger its representation.
o Node and link color shows the most used protocol.
o User may select what level of the protocol stack to
concentrate on.
o You may either look at traffic within your network, end to end
IP, or even port to port TCP.
o Data can be captured "off the wire" from a live network
connection, or read from a tcpdump capture file.
o Live data can be read from ethernet, FDDI, PPP and SLIP
interfaces.
o The following frame and packet types are currently supported:
ETH_II, 802.2, 803.3, IP, IPv6, ARP, X25L3, REVARP, ATALK, AARP,
IPX, VINES, TRAIN, LOOP, VLAN, ICMP, IGMP, GGP, IPIP, TCP, EGP,
PUP, UDP, IDP, TP, IPV6, ROUTING, RSVP, GRE, ESP, AH, ICMPV6,
EON, VINES, EIGRP, OSPF, ENCAP, PIM, IPCOMP, VRRP; and most TCP
and UDP services, like TELNET, FTP, HTTP, POP3, NNTP, NETBIOS,
IRC, DOMAIN, SNMP, etc.
o Data display can be refined using a network filter.
so it might do.
Binary packages are available for Debian and Red Hat; it will probably
compile on at least some other flavors of UNIX, if you have GTK+ and
GNOME. It probably won't work on Windows....
It might also be possible to get ntop to do the job:
http://www.ntop.org/ntop.html
and it does work on Windows.
