Are there any tools to monitor network requests at very low-level?

I would like to monitor the web/ftp requests made by Zypper when we install a package. But none of the suggested network monitoring tools seem to identify the requests made by Zypper.
So far, I've tried



  • netstat

  • conntrackd

  • argus

  • ntop

  • nethogs

and a few more.
But none of them seem to detect the web requests made by Zypper. Or maybe I'm not using these tools in the right way?

          Depending on what you want to achieve, you may use:



          • strace -e trace=network : to trace network related operations

          • lsof / netstat to list open connections

          • wireshark/tcpdump to capture network traffic (you need to know

          • iptables to count packets/bytes to specific addresses/ports reached by Zypper traffic once you know those destinations.

          • Might need to add the -f option to strace. I think zypper calls curl or aria2c to do the actual downloading.
