Confirming Argus accuracy

[Andrew Pollock]

Hi,

I've got a problem where on a segment that Argus is monitoring, it seems 
to be producing stupid results.

I'm not pointing the finger at Argus, I'm suspecting the Ethernet setup at 
this stage, however, I need to get to the bottom of it.

Is there a way that I can use tcpdump files to simulate traffic?

What I'd like to try and do is capture some traffic from a few other areas 
on the network with tcpdump (I don't want to and can't install Argus 
everywhere) and then try and work out if and where I'm losing visibility 
of the traffic.

Hope this makes sense.

Andrew
