Re: Request for link-layer header type (XRA)

Hi,

we are putting the last hand to the Xra header specification.
The specification will be put on
http://www.xra31.com/xra-header
when completed.

Best Regards,

Bruno

at Excentis we are developing a DOCSIS 3.1 RF sniffer (XRA-31). Packets
are saved in pcap format with an XRA header. This is a pseudo header that
contains extra information on the sniffed DOCSIS packets, e.g. the MER
(modulation error rate), SID on which the packets was sniffed, ...

Is it possible to obtain a link-layer header type for this pseudo-header?

Yes.

You will have to give a detailed and complete specification for the
pseudo-header.  You can either provide a URL for it, or can provide a
description that we can turn into a specification hosted on tcpdump.org,
such as the ones here:

        http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes/

Presumably what immediately follows the pseudo-header is a DOCSIS MAC
frame, as described by the DOCSIS 3.1 MAC and Upper Layer Protocols
Interface Specification (or whatever that specification is called for
DOCSIS 3.1).
