Package com.ibm.as400.util.commtrace

Provides a utility application and classes to assist in the formatting and display of IBM i communication traces.

These classes provide the ability to parse the data from an IBM i communication trace. Each class represents a specific portion of a packet of data. These classes parse data as defined by the respective RFCs.

Class Summary

Class	Description
AH	An AH Header. Extends ExtHeader's methods to parse, print, and allow easy access to the AH Header.
ARPHeader	An Address Resolution Protocol(ARP)/Reverse Address Resolution Protocol(RARP) Header. Extends Header's methods to parse, print, and allow easy access to the ARP/RARP Header.
ARPPacket	An Address Resolution Protocol(ARP)/Reverse Address Resolution Protocol(RARP) IPPacket. Extends IPPacket's methods to parse, print, and allow easy access to the ARP IPPacket.
CommTrace	Provides a front end for the Format class, to display and transfer a communications trace file. The trace must originate from a system (running OS/400 V5R2 or greater) and reside in the IFS directory structure. The trace should be created with the following sequence of commands:
CTMRI	Locale-specific objects for the CommTrace Utility.
Data	Represents the data that is contained in the packet.

ExtHeader	An Extended Header. Extends Header's methods to parse, print, and allow easy access to the Extended Header.
Format	The Format object is an interface between the raw trace file and the records the trace file contains. A example program:
FormatProperties	Values to use for setting the Properties object that is sent to the Format class. Example:
Fragmentation	A Fragmentation Header. Extends ExtHeader's methods to parse, print, and allow easy access to the Fragmentation Header.
Frame	Encapsulates all the data for one Frame of the trace. Parses the Frame data and creates a printable representation of this Frame. The data in any packet is mainted in a linked list like structure.
