Have you considered integrating dtrace scripts into your data gathering process with this tool? soconnect_mac.d is exceptionally useful and there are some others enumerated at: http://dtrace.org/blogs/brendan/2011/10/10/top-10-dtrace-scripts-for-mac-os-x/ I find the usefulness of these to be quite extreme in debugging and finding information that does not usually lend itself readily, even through normal packet analyzation. A number of useful scripts from the DTrace Book can be found at: http://www.dtracebook.com/images/dtbook_scripts.tar.gz

Works well, and a useful tool to have at hand. I also use WireShark, but for quick packet captures, I prefer CPA. I very much appreciate developers who put out utilities like this without charging--value that can't be beat.
