Analyze a tcpdump pcap file for top talkers & conversations

#!/bin/bash
# 2014-11-06 LWH 

# Process pcap sniff files to get:
#   Start/stop times
#   Total Packets
#   Top Talkers
#   Top Conversations
#      (Not smart enough to associate H1 -> H2  with H2 -> H1, though)
#
#  requires only tcpdump, wc, awk, cut, sort, uniq  and head
#
#  Note that this tcpdumps the file 3.1 times - V. inefficient
#  Someday I'll replace this with a perl script that takes 
#  tcpdump output from a single pass and parses everything 
#  here (and more, like total bytes/conversation) out of it.  
#  For now, though....
