Can we simultaneously run tcpdump many times... I mean, I opened two terminals, Is it possible to run tcpdump on both these terminlas simultaneously?
Yes.
And if it so, is both the outputs same?
Yes, unless, for example, a particular packet or packets are dropped by one instance but not the other instance. (That's "dropped" as in "tcpdump wasn't reading fast enough from the socket to keep enough room in the socket buffer for the kernel to be able to queue up a packet on the socket").
