     24 	<P>
     25 	The ACN provides a customized/distributed version of this library that alows SMPs to
     26 	interact with the various IOPs within the site providing a standard mechanism
     27 	to capture LAN and WAN message traffic.

     44 	Each IOP will be capable of supporting multiple connections from an SMP
     45 	enabling monitoring of more than one interface at a time, each through
     46 	its own seperate connection.  The IOP is responsible to ensure and report
     47 	an error if any attempt is made to monitor the same interface more than once.
     48 	<P>
     49 	There are three applications that will be supported by the ACN version of libpcap.
     50 	They each use a slightly different mode for looping/capturing and termination
     51 	as summarized in the following table:

     72 	pcap_close().  Pcap_breakloop() is only used to stop/suspend looping/processing,
     73 	and upon close interpretation of the function definitions, it is possible to resume
     74 	capturing following a pcap_breakloop() without any re-initialization.

    760 <H3>Packet Trace Data Format</H3>
    761 <UL>
    762 	The format of the trace data that is sent to the SMP follows a portion of the libpcap file format
    763 	and is summarized here.  This format specifies the generic requirements needed to
    764 	be able to decode packets, but does not cover ACN specifics such as custom MAC addressing
    765 	and WAN protocol support.
    766 	<P>
    767 
    768 	Although a libpcap file begins with a global header followed by zero or
    769 	more records for each captured packet, trace data sent to the SMP does NOT begin with a global header.
    770 	A trace sequence looks like this:

    842 	and displaying traffic from LAN interfaces.  The SITA extentions to these facilities
    843 	are used to also provide the ability to capture, filter, and display information from
    844 	an ACN's WAN ports.
    845 	<P>
    846 	Although each packet follows the standard libpcap format, since there are
    847 	two types of interfaces that can be monitored, the format of the data
    848 	packet varies slightly.
