Network Packet Capture
Overview
This application will setup the device so that net-shell can be used to enable network packet capture. The captured packets are sent to remote host via IPIP tunnel. The tunnel can be configured to be in the same connection as what we are capturing packets or it can be a separate bearer. For example if you are capturing network traffic for interface 1, then the remote host where the captured packets are sent can also be reached via interface 1 or via some other network interface if the device has multiple network interfaces connected.
Requirements
Building and Running
Build the sample application like this:
west build -b <board to use> samples/net/capture -- -DCONF_FILE=<config file to use>
Network Configuration
The net-tools project contains net-setup.sh script that can be used to setup
the tunneling.
In terminal #1, type:
./net-setup.sh -c zeth-tunnel.conf
The script will create following network interfaces:

The zeth is the outer tunnel interface, all the packets go via it.
The other interfaces receive packets depending on the configuration you have
in the Zephyr side.
Network Capture Configuration
In Zephyr console, type:
uart:~$ net iface
Interface 0x807df74 (Virtual) [1]
=================================
Interface is down.
Interface 0x807e040 (Ethernet) [2]
==================================
Link addr : 02:00:5E:00:53:3B
MTU : 1452
Flags : AUTO_START,IPv4,IPv6
Ethernet capabilities supported:
IPv6 unicast addresses (max 4):
fe80::5eff:fe00:533b autoconf preferred infinite
2001:db8::1 manual preferred infinite
IPv6 multicast addresses (max 4):
ff02::1
ff02::1:ff00:533b
ff02::1:ff00:1
IPv6 prefixes (max 2):
<none>
IPv6 hop limit : 64
IPv6 base reachable time : 30000
IPv6 reachable time : 43300
IPv6 retransmit timer : 0
IPv4 unicast addresses (max 2):

IPv4 multicast addresses (max 1):
<none>
IPv4 gateway : 0.0.0.0
IPv4 netmask : 255.255.255.0
Next the monitoring is setup so that captured packets are sent as a payload in IPv6/UDP packets.
uart:~$ net capture setup 192.0.2.2 2001:db8:200::1 2001:db8:200::2
Capture setup done, next enable it by "net capture enable <idx>"
The net capture command will show current configuration. As we have not
yet enabled capturing, the interface is not yet set.
uart:~$ net capture
Network packet capture disabled
Capture Tunnel
Device iface iface Local Peer
NET_CAPTURE0 - 1 [2001:db8:200::1]:4242 [2001:db8:200::2]:4242
Next enable network packet capturing for interface 2.
uart:~$ net capture enable 2
The tunneling interface will be UP and the captured packets will be sent to peer host.
uart:~$ net iface 1
Interface 0x807df74 (Virtual) [1]
=================================
Name : IPv4 tunnel
Attached : 2 (Ethernet / 0x807e040)
Link addr : 8E:F9:94:6D:B9:E6

IPv6 hop limit : 64
IPv6 base reachable time : 30000
IPv6 reachable time : 22624
IPv6 retransmit timer : 0
IPv4 not enabled for this interface.
If you now do this:
uart:~$ net ping -c 1 192.0.2.2
You should see a ICMPv4 message sent to 192.0.2.2 and also the captured
packet will be sent to 192.0.2.2 in tunnel to 2001:db8:200::2
address. The UDP port is by default 4242 but that can be changed when
setting the tunnel endpoint address.
The actual captured network packets received at the end of the tunnel will look like this:
