Quick and dirty support for reading pcap files in order to test a tokio-io codec.
I wrote this initially to support testing my
eventstore-tcp against packet
capture containing packets sent by the original client library and EventStore
server. Figured it would be simpler than to write a protocol dissector...
The end result is not pretty or idiomatic rust but it might help you. Patches
are most welcome.
Currently the library supports:
- reading the basic pcap structures
- ethernet frames (partial)
- ip headers (partial)
- tcp headers (partial)
- tcp connections (client initiated and shut down, probably misbehaves on retransmissions)
- bring-your-own tcp connection tracking (in the example)
I've only used the library on samples acquired by tapping into loopback device connections so there is probably inadequate support for any real-life packet captures with tcp retransmissions and whatnot.
If you want to experiment with this against your own
tokio_io::codec::Decoder
implementation, take a look at the examples/read-eventstore_tcp-pcap.rs which
I've tried to annotate as well as possible.
The example:
- assumes every starting tcp connection is an eventstore-tcp connection, which can be successfully decoded using the provided codec(s)
- shows how to:
- select only the tcp frames
- track connections
- feed tracked connections data
- decode the buffered data into
Decoder::Item
