I'm a newbie for USB, so please be gentle :)

I'm trying to examine the traffic between a usb device and the windows driver 
for the usb device using VMware and usbfs.

I've got usbcore.usbfs_snoop=1 working properly and running klogd -f <output> 
(so I dont muddy up my syslog) and I am seeing the traffic for the usb devices 
I am examining.

Now for the newbie questions.

1)  Is using klogd -f the best way for me to get a stream of data for the usb 
device?   The output is still in text format and if this is the correct way to 
get to the data, I'm considering writing a parser to convert all of the data: 
<hex> <hex> information into a binary stream that I can then examine.

2)  I've noticed in the klogd -f output, it appears that klogd puts in <6> for 
the majority of the usb traffic that I need, but sometimes I will see a small 
amount of data with <4>.   Is there a case where usb communication would be 
logged at the <6> and <4> level for the usb device?  Not sure why I would be 
seeing different levels of klog traffic.

Thanks in advance,
