The binary file is in the standard pcap format. You can use ethereal, or any other utility that can read pcap files to look at the packets.

Ali,

Thanks. Yes the file was created after I followed your instruction. Because I
started from a checkpoint before, so the dump file didn't come out.

However, the dump file is a binary file, how can I see the information of the dumped packet from the file? Besides, if I want to see the status of the packets, how can I use the DPRINTF in EtherLink to print out the information?

Thanks again~

Yu,

If you set the environment variable -EDUMPFILE=<filename> run.py on
the command line you'll see how an EtherDump object is created and
attached to the ethernet link in the simulator. That line will set
the file of the Etherdump object to <filename> which will be created
during the execution (regardless of if packets were sent accross the
link or not). The maxlen parameter specifies the maximum capture
length of a single packet and defaults to 96 bytes (enough to always
get the tcp header and all options as well as some state for other
things like nfs).

Hi all,

I want to trace the information of the dumped packets on the
Ethernet. I tried
to use parameters 'file' and 'maxlen' of EtherDump. But after I run
the
benchmark --specweb, I didn't get any file that collects
information about
the dumped packets. Does this mean no packet was dumped when
running the
benchmark? Or there is something wrong with the configuration?

If I want to dump some packets, what should I do?

Thanks
