Thank you for the response, but I can't find any information as to locking traffic collection with TCPDUMP or Tshark onto a PID, for program specific traffic collection. If you don't mind, a link, or option would be greatly appreciated. Wireshark is not the way I want to go, since I want to automate the whole process. I have several LWP agents that will be running on given system at the same time. If I can ask LWP what src port it is about to use, then I can spin up a tcpdump session against that src port, no matter where it is going. So, while asking LWP what SRC port it is going use prior to sending may be considered busy work, I have a very good reason for asking. If I were running only one process, then it wouldn't be a problem. I sincerely appreciate your help. Many thanks in advance.
