Pkt size


Hi,
	I wanted to measure the packet sizes carrying data sent out by the 
host when a web server runs on it(I am interested in coarse grain
measurements, and will preferably stop other TCP services on the host).
One way of doing that, I could think
of, is to go inside TCP (do_tcp_sendmsg()) and write out the 
values in some file. But I was wondering if there is some non-intrusive
way of doing it(The web-master won't let me compile the kernel :-).
Plz. note, I do not want to measure the sizes of SYN or SYN/ACK or FIN..
kind of packets but only those carrying data.

regards
sourav
