strace or ltrace will have difficulty tracing all traffic on a system, as they are designed to examine one program at a time. Also, it can be difficult to determine what type of traffic just on system calls.

Try network packet capture in general, and network intrusion detection systems in particular. Software like Snort is designed to identify conversations on the wire.
