As some people might have been aware, a while ago I wrote some code for
tcpdump that decoded RX packets and some of the arguments to the AFS
RPC calls. That code has been quitely bitrotting for a while.
Well, at the urging of some various people, I finally revisited
this code, dusted it off, crammed it into the latest tcpdump and
polished it to a dull glow. I figured it's finally suitable for
external consumption.
Anyway, to make a long story short, it's now at:
/afs/transarc.com/public/afs-contrib/tools/tcpdump
Included in that directory is a README which explains a bit about how
the code works, and the actual context diff itself.
I know there were some other tcpdump patches by a Transarc employee,
but I haven't been able to find those in a long time. Note that my
patches take a _completely_ different route; more energy has been
spent on decoding the AFS RPC calls. I believe that my patch include
the same information as that other patch, however.
Comments, suggestions, improvements, and bug fixes are welcome.
