Hi,
Is there any way that i can directly take out the IP packet and see its contents.
Waiting for your answer ..............
Bye
Most people will get a laptop that runs some kind a sniffer software to use for this. Our network group has a couple of these. Some versions of unix have network tracing capability but they tend to be oriented to displaying ethernet frames rather than IP packets.
In Unix/Linux...You can use: tcpdump, ethereal, iptraf...
tcpdump: default was install with any version Unix;)
you can also get iptables to log packets with certain aspects. Most people will use a sniffer like COLD, HUNT, ntop (and the ones mentioned above)
