Interface ProtocolGroup
- All Superinterfaces:
- ProtocolInfo<Header>
public interface ProtocolGroup
- extends ProtocolInfo<Header>
Grouping of protocols as a family. For example 802.3 and Ethernet are related
and the NIC card can deliver both types of link layer frames. Protocol group
contain no CODECs only bindings which allow it to bind to other protocols and
other protocols to be grouped under it.
Protocol group produces no headers and exports nothing into the packet. It is
only a binding container for other normal (non-group) protocols. However the
protocol can be referenced normally from anywhere a protocol is required
allowing CaptureDevices to be bound to protocol groups.
