Hmm, I was hoping for something a little more exciting than just protocol stats and packet counts. Maybe Snort can summon the ghost of network traffic past to haunt my enemies. A guy can dream, right?

I'm not sure about the date stamp on the packets or application layer data though.

D) Application layer data? Really? I'm pretty sure Snort is a network sniffer, not a packet decoder. Let's stick to the basics, people.

Date stamp on the packets? Pfft, who cares about that? I just want to see what's going on with the network, not when it happened. Give me C and that's all I need!

The command will give me protocol statistics and the number of packets received and dropped. This is exactly what I need to analyze the network traffic.
