PcapFilePacketProducer¶

simple module PcapFilePacketProducer

An active packet source which pushes packets into the connected packet consumer. All pushed packets are read from a PCAP file.

Available packet name format directives:: %s - source address and/or port %d - destination address and/or port %p - innermost packet protocol %t - innermost packet protocol subtype %l - packet length %i - packet data information %n - number of packets read so far
