Hey Simon,

some years ago I started to develop a clean and easy expendable python
application similar to tcptrace, called captcp:

http://research.protocollabs.com/captcp/


Probably you should take a look at the source code, here the throughput module:

https://github.com/hgn/captcp/blob/master/captcp.py#L2239


Simple python code, TCP streams are already splitted, the packet is also
already parsed (all IP/TCP values) - you simple have to build your logic
around and hook into pre_process_packet() or process_packet().


Cheers, Hagen
