Protobuf Packet Decoding

[Sharon L]

Hello all,

In the project I am working on, there are some packets coming in where the payloads are encoded in protobuf. I have defined the XML containers and parameters corresponding to the decoded structure. My question is whether there is a way to decode the payload and populate the parameters accordingly. My current idea is to catch the protobuf packets in the preprocessor, decode the payload, and reconstruct the payload with the decoded values. However, this is proving to be a bit of a hassle, and I don't know if this would be the best way to go about it. I have also looked into the UDP Parameter Link for this. If I were to use this, would the packet still be present since I am directly updating the parameters? Also, I would have to convert the incoming data into a ParameterData packet first?

Thank you!
