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/.
