There are two parts to this - running the program and interpreting the
output.

Running the program *can be* complex, because of the complex filtering
rules that one can set up.  However, for simple cases those aren't
necessary, and the options are documented in Miami.guide.

Fully interpreting the output requires an understanding of the protocols,
but for simple things such as "is any traffic getting through at all?" you
don't need to know much.  In particular, if you have working and
non-working cases, you can do "comparative debugging" by comparing the
results.

A more complete tcpdump manual is available online at the attached URL.
