Hello,

I'm working on a swiss internet analysis project, and
we'd have to analyse really big tcpdumps raw files of data
(2 files of around 5GB, and one of around 46 GB, everything gziped,
over a 24h time period).

We would have to get statistics on these points:
   - session duration (SYN to FINACK)
   - session throughput histogram (also by daytime)
   - session packet loss
   - session packet retransmits
   - session average RTT
   - session RTT variance
   - session aborts
   - session timing and bursts
   - session in/outbound delay-bandwidth product
   - session MSS changes
   - session flow control characteristics (window sizes)
   - session congestion control
   - session hop count
and tcptrace would surely help for some of them.

But will it handle so big files correctely ? Have you already
had some experiences, or so you know better ways to do that?

Thanks in advance for your hints :)
Olivier Müller
