select one of multiple eth interfaces

[Kristian Köhntopp]

I have a span port on which three different master databases are being replicated. This is eth1 on the current machine.

I can listen to

tcpdump -w out -s 1500 -i eth1 port 3306 and host one-masters-name

to record to a file, but I cannot do this directly with tcprstat, as it is missing an option to select an interface.

yes, it is currently working on "any" interface. In Linux it is equal for all interface traffic. Patch is very trivial, i am going to do it, because on FreeBSD "any" looks like to be broken

[Alex Samorukov (samm-os2)]

This patch will add -i (--interface) switch to the tcprstat.

And bug is critical for all non-linux platforms, because "any" interface is implemented only on modern (2.6) linux kernels.
