If people think this feature is a great idea please comment in this thread.Ĭhris - Take a look at the Packet Sniffer on Mikrotik routers / in RouterOS. This is a PRIME EXAMPLE of where this function would be AWESOME. Or in this case figure out what this strange amount of data is.īeing a WISP for 16 years I can tell you that this feature would be invaluable.Īnother thing that would make this feature fast and convent is to mirror the packets to a window on the MIRROR tab negating the need for Wireshark for quick and dirty peaks without all the advanced features Wireshark provides to sort the data. Now they am able to determine that the customer is running a bittorrent, or maybe they must have a worm or something of that nature. The WISP then looks through the garbage looking for something of interest to a specific customer IP so they stop the MIRROR and then add an IP or MAC Filter and restart the MIRROR. A WISP sees weird behavior on a port feeding an AP that services 30+ customers so they mirror that port to their computer running WireShark to capture the stream (Yes Wireshark supports this)
