how can I monitor wireless peer-to-peer traffic within my network

edu environment. apple ipads. a student is using airdrop to send images to other students. our understanding is that airdrop uses bluetooth to negotiate a connection, and then wireless peer-to-peer to send the image once the recipient accepts the request. all ipads have private IP addresses on our network so the thinking is we can capture packets showing the IP address of the sender.

is this possible? do we need a different tool? a plug-in to WS?
