<H3>SUMMARY</H3>
<UL>
<STRONG>Note:</STRONG> This document is part of the libpcap CVS and was derived from 'pcap.3' (circa Aug/07).
<P>
The ACN provides a customized/distributed version of this library that alows SMPs to
interact with the various IOPs within the site providing a standard mechanism
to capture LAN and WAN message traffic.
<P>
<CENTER>

<TD VALIGN=TOP>The Supervisory Management Processor where Wireshark (or equivalent)
runs in conjuction with a libpcap front-end.</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
<TH VALIGN=TOP>IOP</TH>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>I/O Processors where the monitored ports exist in conjunction
with a custom device driver/libpcap back-end.</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</CENTER>
<P>
Each IOP will be capable of supporting multiple connections from an SMP
enabling monitoring of more than one interface at a time, each through
its own seperate connection. The IOP is responsible to ensure and report
an error if any attempt is made to monitor the same interface more than once.
<P>
There are three applications that will be supported by the ACN version of libpcap.
They each use a slightly different mode for looping/capturing and termination
as summarized in the following table:
<P>
<CENTER>
<TABLE BORDER=1 CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=3>
<TR><TH>Application</TH> <TH>Capture</TH> <TH>Termination</TH></TR>
<TR><TH VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>wireshark</TH>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>pcap_dispatch(all packets in one buffer of capture only)</TD>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>pcap_breakloop()</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TH VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>tshark</TH>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>pcap_dispatch(one buffer of capture only)</TD>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>Since a CTRL-C was used to terminate the application, pcap_breakloop() is never called.</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TH VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>tcpdump</TH>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>pcap_loop(all packets in the next buffer, and loop forever)</TD>
<TD VALIGN=TOP>pcap_breakloop()</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
</CENTER>
<P>
<B>Note: </B>In all cases, the termination of capturing is always (apparently) followed by
pcap_close(). Pcap_breakloop() is only used to stop/suspend looping/processing,
and upon close interpretation of the function definitions, it is possible to resume
capturing following a pcap_breakloop() without any re-initialization.

The following list of functions is the sub-set of Pcap functions that have been
altered/enhanced to support the ACN remote monitoring facility. The remainder of the Pcap
functions continue to perform their duties un-altered. Libpcap only supports this
mode of operation if it has been configured/compiled for SITA/ACN support.

These subroutines have been modified for the ACN specific distributed and remote monitoring
ability perform the following basic functions. More detail is provided in the

The SMP will open a connection to the selected IOP on its 'sniffer' port
to ensure it is available. It sends a null terminated string identifying
the interface to be monitored.
</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TH VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>IOP -> SMP</TH>
<TD>
After any required processing is complete, the IOP will return a
null terminated string containing an error message if one occured.
If no error occured, a empty string is still returned.
Errors are:
<UL>
<LI>"Interface (xxx) does not exist."
<LI>"Interface (xxx) not configured."
<LI>"Interface (xxx) already being monitored."

On the first invocation of pcap_dispatch(), pcap_loop(), or pcap_next(), or pcap_next_ex() following a pcap_open_live(),
the SMP will pass down the monitor start command and various parameters the IOP should use.

<TD>
The IOP now sends a stream of captured data.
</TD>
</TR>
<TR><TH VALIGN=TOP NOWRAP>SMP</TH>
<TD>
The SMP will read the reverse channel of the connection between the SMP and the
IOP that provides the captured data (via 'p->read_op' which is 'pcap_read_linux()'
until the select() call returns a 'no more data' indication.
It will the process (at most) the next 'cnt' packets and invoke the specified
callback function for each packet processed.
</TD>

Although a libpcap file begins with a global header followed by zero or

this is also known as a UN*X time_t. You can use the ANSI C

custom header used to convey WAN port related information.
</UL>
<H4>ACN Custom Packet Header</H4>
<UL>
PCAP, Wireshark and Tcpdump enhancements have been added to the ACN to support
monitoring of its ports, however each of these facilities were focused on capturing
and displaying traffic from LAN interfaces. The SITA extentions to these facilities
are used to also provide the ability to capture, filter, and display information from
an ACN's WAN ports.

Although each packet follows the standard libpcap format, since there are
two types of interfaces that can be monitored, the format of the data
packet varies slightly.
<P>
<UL TYPE=DISC>
<LI>For Ethernet (like) devices, the packet format is unchanged from the standard Pcap format.
<LI>For WAN devices, the packet contains a 5 byte header that preceeds the actual captured data
described by the following table:
