Name	Type	Description
TCPDump	simple module	Provides tcpdump-like functionality: dumps packet contents on the module output, and optionally records them into a PCAP file. This module has to be placed into the packet's path, and connected both sides.

//
// Provides tcpdump-like functionality: dumps packet contents on the
// module output, and optionally records them into a PCAP file.
// This module has to be placed into the packet's path, and connected
// both sides.
//
// This module is deprecated: consider using PcapRecorder, which
// can be inserted into compound modules non-intrusively (it receives
// packet data via signals, so existing modules don't need to be reconnected.)
//
// <b>How to use it:</b> The module handles IPv4 packets (IPv4Datagram class),
// so it should be placed between the IP module and network interfaces (NICs);
// see description of gates in comments. Other packets are ignored and let
// through.
