Hey Torbjorn,
I looked at iptables a long time ago as a replacement to libpcap, but it was
less than useful, as it did not provide info on non-IP traffic.  But that was a
long time ago.

Seems that you have to poll the kernel to get the data?  Does it track sub-second
flows, and retain the information so when you poll, you actually see the connection?
Without that, I see it missing a lot of traffic?
