PcapFilePacketProducer

simple module

This module is 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
