NAME

       xpl2gpl - Convert tcptrace-style xplot input to gnuplot input.

SYNOPSIS

       xpl2gpl [-s] <file_name>

DESCRIPTION

       xpl2gpl	is a utility that converters tcptrace-style xplot input to gnuplot input.  This converter gives a nearly perfect gnuplot reproduc-
       tion of the corresponding xplot graph.

OPTIONS

       -s     Seperate files.  If you wish to plot only some data from the xpl file, you may use the -s option, which generates a bunch  of  data-
	      files filtered based on the color and plotting style.

EXAMPLES

       xpl2gpl foo.xpl

       This  would  produce files by the names "foo.gpl", "foo.datasets" and "foo.labels".  Load the file "file_name.gpl" in gnuplot and it should
       give you the plot.

NOTES

       xpl2gpl is provided for convenience, as gnuplot is more commonly installed than the xplot package  that	tcptrace  typically  expects,  and
       because xplot has not always been available in Debian. If possible, you should consider installing the xplot-xplot.org package and using it
       instead of using xpl2gpl.

NAME

     tcpdump2xplot -- converts tcpdump output to xplot input for analysis

SYNOPSIS

     tcpdump2xplot [-?] [-c] [-help] [-list[filename]] [-plot[filename]] [-q] [-r] [-s] [-t] [-w]

DESCRIPTION

     tcpdump2xplot takes the output of
	   tcpdump -tt -S ...
     and plots it in terms of sequence-number versus time, with other info displayed (e.g., the TCP window, acks, etc.).

OPTIONS

     -?, -help prints a help message.  -c, ``cumulative'', adds all the data coming from a server.  -list[filename] prints the list of generated
     plot files to filename.  -plot[filename] plots the packets from filename. The filename may be built out of a hostname and port number, e.g.:
     abc.def.com:1234. The default is
	   fromhost:fromport-tohost:toport.xplot
     where fromhost, fromport, thost, toport are extracted as conversations from the tcpdump data.  -q means "quiet" --- no visible output.  -r
     means use relative sequence numbers.  -s means break up conversations on TCP syns.  -t convert time to decimal number of seconds.	-w plots
     the TCP window.

BUGS

     tcpdump2xplot may not deal properly with output from tcpdump that is not TCP.  Either filter to only tcp or be careful.

HISTORY

     The tcpdump2xplot has been contributed by xplot.org users.  Thanks to Garret Wollman for contributing the original tcpdump2xplot.pl script
     and thanks to Eric Prud'hommeaux (@ w3.org) for making <http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/config/tcpdump2xplot.pl> available, a much improved ver-
     sion.  The one included here is a slightly improved version of Eric's.
