Traffic Capture: Difference between revisions

[[File:Traffic-dump.png|800px|none|frame|Traffic capture example]]
 
Here is a simple example, which actually only shows a few ICMP pings.
 
The Fields are:
*Timestamp
*Direction (Tx/Rx)
*Length/size of the packet
*Session ID
*Protocol, eg IP, IPv6 etc
*Length/Size of the payload
*Source IP Address and port
*Destination IP Address and port
*Packet type, eg ICMP echo reply
 
You will see our LCP echos every second, these are used to monitor the line and are used to create our CQM Graphs, they looks like this:
14:54:32.577431 Rx length 30: [ses 0x3776] LCP (0xc021), length 10: LCP, [|LCP]
 
 
The pcap file can be downloaded and opened in a viewer program such as [https://www.wireshark.org/ Wireshark], this makes viewing and analyzing the traffic easier.
