Live traffic monitoring

If your computer has multiple network adapters or VPN software, you need to obtain a list of network interfaces. Run bin\live-traffic.cmd without arguments:

cd bin
live-traffic

You will see an output like:

Network devices found:
#0: \Device\NPF_{0093D9BE-190D-4B59-BF8F-D9CE04004DBE} [Marvell Yukon Ethernet Controller.]
#1: \Device\NPF_{BC81C4FC-242F-4F1C-9DAD-EA9523CC992D} [Intel(R) PRO/100 VE Network Connection (Microsoft's Packet Scheduler) ]

You will need interface ID (zero-based index of adapter in the above list) to setup live capture.

Command line arguments:

1. Interface to monitor traffic on (let's use interface #0).
2. Source port number for inbound traffic (2509).
3. FIX Tag value containing correlation ID in inbound messages (We specified tag QuoteEntryID(299)).
4. Destination port number for outbound traffic (2508).
5. FIX Tag value containing correlation ID in outbound messages (We specified tag QuoteID(117)).
6. Capture filter
7. Optional parameter specifying CSV file to produce

live-traffic 0 2509 299 2508 117 "(tcp src port 2509) or (tcp dst port 2508)" latency.csv
