Header Format

The format of the first line of all trace records is the same. Each trace record displayed is

preceded by a header line of the following format:

DateStamp

displays the date at which the trace was captured.

TimeStamp

displays the time at which the trace was captured.

DeltaTime

displays the time lapsed (in seconds) since the previous trace was captured. If the

time reaches 999.999 or greater, 999.999 is displayed. DeltaTime is 0 for the first

record and for any record with a timestamp earlier than the previous record

displayed.

TraceRecordNumber

displays the number of the trace record. Trace records are numbered sequentially

beginning at 1. If you selected the WRAP option when the trace was made, records

are wrapped and the first records in the file are overwritten if the trace becomes full

(the oldest data is overwritten first).

Type

displays the record type code, which identifies the type of information contained in

the record.

IPX Interface Trace Records

This subsection describes the trace records written by the IPX Protocol Layer.

Outbound Packet Trace Record
