Hi, All,

Can you let me know the overall/average overhead of ethereal. In the client
side or in the server side.

I want to parse the protocol tree in the server side (e.g., a webserver)
using ethereal. The practical overhead for the protocol parse is critical
for the server performance if it acts as a firewall/proxy. 

Thank you in advance.

Best,
Zhuowei
