   I am looking for software which would be able to be a passive observer
   on the net and keep track of packets on the network. It should be able to
   track atleast 90% of all the  packets and store information collected.
   Preferable if this could be on a Sun, Dec station (2100 or 3100) or 
   PC's with ethernet cards.

You want to get ahold of the RFC that talks about network monitoring
tools, RFC 1147 edited by Bob Stine.  It will point you in a lot of
good directions.  My recommendation for this particular task would
be 'statspy' aka 'NNStat' from venera.isi.edu.
