NAME

       netmate - displays network protocol headers in uniform RFC like format

SYNOPSIS

       netmate filename

DESCRIPTION

       Netmate  is  a  GTK+  program that shows network protocols headers in 32-bit aligned fields, identical as
       they are represented in Request for Comments (RFCs).  It can be used to learn  and  teach  about  network
       protocols and to understand their functionality and collaboration.

       This tool supports input files in pcap(ng) format as they are created by tcpdump, wireshark or other code
       based on libpcap.

       Netmate is written in C and released under the GNU General Public License.  It was inspired  by  netdude,
       that is not further developed any more.

       Currently the following network protocols are supported:
       - Layer 2: Ethernet, SLL (Linux Cooked)
       - Layer 3: ARP, ICMP, ICMPv6, IPv4, IPv6
       - Layer 4: TCP, UDP

DEVELOPMENT

       This  tool  is  still  under development! Please send any further wishes, feature requests or problems in
       compiling and execution to ruport@f00l.de.  Also send me any  more  network  protocols  you  want  to  be
       supported in future releases.

       For further information visit the netmate homepage at http://f00l.de/netmate/.
