How to detect skype network traffic? - see network traffic on skype

I want to check my PC and see what created Skype in terms of network traffic.

Skype is a peer-to-peer can work and to traffic from another user or a PC of the 3rd Season.

Ethereal and I for the case of network packets in and out, but how can I know what packages are Skype traffic?

This is a very easy task! Skype traffic is encrypted and use random ports, it is very difficult to detect, block and analyzed. If you're simply curious, I suggest you try something simple.

Pull-a netstat and see what ports your system uses Skype, and set the filter to capture to only the essential ports (UDP) to hear, if you only want to see packets from Skype.
(Secure you are, of course)
