NetworkInspector.Protocols

NuGet

Built-in dissector package for NetworkInspector parser stacks.

What This Is

NetworkInspector.Protocols provides the ready-to-use protocol dissectors that plug into NetworkInspector.Core.

Use this package when you want standard protocol parsing without writing custom dissectors first.

Why It Stands Out

  • Broad built-in coverage across enterprise and automotive traffic.
  • Works out of the box with one registration call.
  • Keeps protocol parsing consistent across code and CLI workflows.

Install

dotnet add package NetworkInspector.Core
dotnet add package NetworkInspector.Protocols

Quick Start

using NetworkInspector.Core;
using NetworkInspector.Protocols;

StackBuilder builder = new(new SettingsManager(), new FrameInterfaceRegistry());
ProtocolRegistration.RegisterStandardProtocols(builder);
Stack stack = builder.Build();

Protocol Coverage

Current built-ins include:

  • Link and framing: Ethernet, VLAN (802.1Q), Linux SLL/SLL2, LLC/SNAP, Frame.
  • Network: IPv4, IPv6, ARP, ICMPv4, ICMPv6.
  • Transport: TCP, UDP.
  • Application: DNS, DHCPv4, DHCPv6, HTTP/1.x, HTTP/2, TLS, DTLS, WebSocket, JSON, Text.
  • Automotive and bus: CAN (classic/FD/XL), FlexRay, LIN, SOME/IP, PDU Transport, Signal PDU.
  • Fallback: Data.

Adding Custom Protocols

For custom dissectors, use the implementation guide:

Limits And Thread-Safety Notes

  • Keep protocol registration deterministic during stack construction.
  • Validate assumptions at trust boundaries when parsing third-party captures.
  • Use versioned release processes when introducing custom protocol behavior in shared systems.
