How to determine the correct protocol to use for pcapRecorder.dumpProtocols

[Collin Kenner]

Hi All,

I am currently using the WirelessInterface module to simulate Wifitraffic between different wireless devices.I am currently also using the CsmaCaMac for the mac header in the packet. However, I am running into an issue when trying to record the layer 2 address information from the packet. I am trying to read and access the CsmaCaMac chunk from the packet, but I cannot determine the correct protocol name. Does anyone know where the resource with the possible inputs for pcapRecorder.dumpProtocols is located? Here is what I currently have in my .ini file. I appreciate any help you can provide!

CsmaCaMac is a hypothetical protocol, so it has a frame format which is not known for PCAP. Currently it's not possible to use a protocol analyzer such as Wireshark to see what's in a packet. The upcoming INET release will have an option to convert to Ethernet before recording into the PCAP file.
