[comp.sys.sun] Reading OUTGOING packets with /dev/nit on SunOS 4.1 -- is it possible?

tdw@cl.cam.ac.uk (Tim Wilson) (06/28/91)

I have written a program for analysing NFS traffic.  I run it on the
server and it monitors the incoming requests via /dev/nit (bound to le0).

I would also like to be able to see the replies, but I haven't
succeeded in making /dev/nit capture OUTGOING packets.

Is this possible?  (And if so, how do you do it?)

(My temporary solution is to monitor the replies on the client, and
match them up later by XID.  It works (so far), but it's a bit of a
pain... I'd prefer to do it the simpler way, if possible.)

Thanks in advance for your suggestions,

Tim
