Alex has an elegant and inexpensive (read: basically free!) solution that you
might want to check out. Here's a brief description (I've culled from a
personal email, so I hope I don't misrepresent it)<br>
<br>
<i>So I wrote a highly parallelised, multithreaded tool that runs on such a
"capture box" and listens to SIP traffic intelligently. It
automatically identifies the media ports involved in a call and records both
SIP and RTP to distinct capture files in a dated directory hierarchy separated
by day and hour. The capture file contains the date, time, ANI, DNIS and
Call-ID.</i><br>
<br>
You should give him a shout: Alex Balashov <<a href="mailto:abalashov@evaristesys.com" target="_blank">abalashov@evaristesys.com</a>><br>
<br>
I can vouch for the quality and effectiveness of his solutions.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hello everyone,<br>
<br>
Does anyone know of a tool to split PCAP files that is SIP+RTP<br>
aware? Ideally I'd be able to record a PCAP file with any number of<br>
calls and then have a utility split that file into each separate call?<br>
I'm pretty sure I've seen a utility to do this, I just can't remember<br>
the name...<br>
<br>
Thanks!<br>
