There are many solutions. The usual limit is your time spent picking
out the "significant" packets from the usually overwhelming volume
of packets going by.

If you need a CLI (scriptable) tool consider tcpdump(8).

If you need practical filtering, consider ApplicationVantage
(our proprietary product) form Compuware (http://www.compuware.com/)

If your load is small enough that you can tolerate its limited capture
filtering, consider ethereal(8).

Hopefully helpful,
