Re: pcap format / standard(s)

[Carter Bullard <carter () qosient com>]

Hey Jesse,
Why not just reference annex A? It is already a standard that
CALEA recognizes.  The wiki is not the first compilation of the
information you're interested in referencing (hasn't changed
since the first implementation so way back when, other than
the timestamp precision field, which is always zero anyay),
and from the perspective of safe harbor, referencing libpcap
is not going to be helpful with CALEA, but referencing
CM-SP-CBI20.0-I01-070611 will go a good way.
