Filter protocol - Recording with PDU generation

Event data fields according to a protocol layer N, which uses the Segmentation /Reassembly capability, are processed for generation of PDU events at the upper layer N+1.

PDU's events will need to be generated by the protocol filter while RECORDING protocol events:

  • On-Line recording: The protocol filter is defined in the profile to be executed.
  • Off-Line recording: The protocol filter is executed on an already existing event file.

The protocol stack of the filter file includes:

  • A protocol at layer N supporting the Segmentation /Reassembly capability.
  • A protocol at layer N+1.

Segmented-PDU: preserved data

The DATA field for this PDU is comprised of the sum of the segmented data fields of the lower level. These ones can be entirely kept unchanged in the Preserved mode.

Segmented-PDU : discarded data

The DATA field of this PDU is comprised of the sum of segmented data fields of the lower level. These ones can be eliminated in the Discarded mode.
