# This program counts the number of packets per protocol port.
# Can be used for instance to get an idea of how much HTTP (TCP 80)
# vs HTTPS (TCP 443) traffic is present in the network.
#
# For TCP it makes sense to set a BPF* to count flows instead of total packets.
# For UDP we don't have that option. TODO implement conntrack.
# For ICMP all packets are mapped to port 0.
#
# Important! A BPF MUST limit packet capture to a single protocol (e.g., TCP)
# otherwise counts for the same port in different protocols will be aggregated.
#
# *: If no BPF is set the default filter captures HTTP/HTTPS flows.
#    To run with an empty BPF (no recommended) use: -f ""
