Structs

EnhancedPacket	Contains a single captured packet, or a portion of it. It represents an evolution of the original, now obsolete, Packet Block. If this appears in a file, an Interface Description Block is also required, before this block.
InterfaceDescription	Defines the most important characteristics of the interface(s) used for capturing traffic. This block is required in certain cases, as described later.
InterfaceStatistics	Defines how to store some statistical data (e.g. packet dropped, etc) which can be useful to understand the conditions in which the capture has been made. If this appears in a file, an Interface Description Block is also required, before this block.
NameResolution	Defines the mapping from numeric addresses present in the packet capture and the canonical name counterpart.
ObsoletePacket	Contains a single captured packet, or a portion of it. It is OBSOLETE, and superseded by the Enhanced Packet Block.
SectionHeader	Defines the most important characteristics of the capture file.
SimplePacket	Contains a single captured packet, or a portion of it, with only a minimal set of information about it. If this appears in a file, an Interface Description Block is also required, before this block.
