# The net/tcpflow port

## tcpflow-1.6.1p2 – tool for capturing data from TCP connections

## Description

    tcpflow is a program that captures data transmitted as part of TCP
    connections (flows), and stores it in a way that is convenient for
    protocol analysis or debugging.  A program like 'tcpdump' only shows a
    summary of packets seen on the wire, but usually doesn't store the
    data that's actually being transmitted.  In contrast, tcpflow
    reconstructs the actual data streams and stores each flow in a
    separate file for later analysis.

    tcpflow understands sequence numbers and will correctly reconstruct
    data streams regardless of retransmissions or out-of-order delivery.
    However, it currently does not understand IP fragments; flows
    containing IP fragments will not be recorded properly.
