[mod.protocols.tcp-ip] communications analyzers for IP??

swb@DEVVAX.TN.CORNELL.EDU (Scott Brim) (10/13/86)

Has anyone programmed up a communications analyzer (protocol analyzer,
"datascope") to understand IP and overlying protocols?  I hope so, but
doubt it, so my next question: could people recommend programmable
communications analyzers?  We have ended up running IP over asynch,
synchronous DDCMP and HDLC lines, at speeds from 9.6Kbps to T1.  At
times a scope which understood IP/TCP/UDP would be tremendously
helpful.

Please reply directly (not everyone will be interested).  I'll
summarize for those who would like it.
						Thanks ... Scott
