If your app can already log a timestamped "high latency" warning, then 
it would simply be a matter of a big disc and comparing timestamps in 
the tcpdump trace :)

Also, it appears that for what you want, you only need to capture up 
through the TCP header, so while it may be many Mbit/s on the wire, it 
will be fewer Mbit/s in the trace.
