The source files in this directory are copies of the programs that were
written for the Libtrace tutorial presented at PDCAT'08. Each demonstrates
a different feature of the Libtrace programming API, often by building upon
the previous examples.

The slides that accompany these programs can be found at
http://wand.net.nz/trac/libtrace/wiki/PDCAT08

Below is a full list of the examples in order of increasing complexity, along
with a brief description of the API features that are covered by each program.


createdemo:  	
	Demonstrates how to create and start an input trace, plus how to detect 
	and handle errors with trace files.

readdemo:
	Demonstrates how to read packets from an input trace.

timedemo:
	Demonstrates how to get and use timestamps from packets.

lengthdemo:
	Demonstrates how to get and use the different packet size measurements.

sourcedemo:
	Demonstrates how to use the port, IP address and MAC address access
	functions.

gettcpdemo:
	Demonstrates how to use the protocol access functions.

writedemo:
	Demonstrates how to create and start an output traces, and how to
	write packets to the output trace.

filterdemo:
	Demonstrates how to use BPF filters within Libtrace.

configdemo:
	Demonstrates how to use the configuration system to configure both
	input and output traces before starting them.

httpcount:
	Demonstrates how to use the generic trace_get_transport function
	rather than the shortcut trace_get_tcp shown in gettcpdemo

mplscount:
	Demonstrates how to access a second link layer header using
	trace_get_payload_from_layer2

mplstag:
	Demonstrates how to iterate through multiple link layer headers.

headerdemo:
	A much more complicated tool that puts a lot of the previously
	demonstrated concepts together to create a useful tool.
