Re: How does TCP connections over multiple Pcap files

Hi Mark,

Snort can't handle that scenario but you may be able to get the pcaps combined using mergecap if the router clocks are close enough.

Hi all,

Was just wondering if snort can handle a connection that is spread over multiple PCAP files? If so, how (or any documentation that points to how it works)


The likely example will be

1) You have two routers (Router A and Router B) connected to the same ISP.
2) BGP has been configured so that traffic is load balanced to the ISP from the two routers. 3) Captures are running on the ISP facing interfaces on Router A and Router B and sent to a directory.
3) Snort is configured to read pcaps off a directory

A TCP connection from your LAN to a server on the internet is made. The packets are split in a round robin fashion between Router A and Router B.

Kind Regards,
Mark A
