tcpdump may not be the right tool for the job, but considerable work has been done on IP flows. You might want to look at tcptrace, or a flows analysis package like Coralreef, or a flow probe like fprobe or ntop. http://jarok.cs.ohiou.edu/software/tcptrace/tcptrace.html http://www.caida.org/too

man tethereal feed the capture through tethereal and use the flags -R "not frame" -z conv,tcp the -R flag is to stop tethereal from printing any packet summaries to stdout, -z flag is to make tethereal to print a table of all TCP sessions to stdout after the entire capture file has been parsed.
