    We've run tcptrace on our border for periods as long as 24 hours. We've
    found that running tcpdumps and checkpointing them every 1/2 an hour, then
    grinding on them works better than piping directly into tcptrace.

    The biggest problem seems to be getting tcpdump not to drop packets at
    really high rates.
