Packet.Net
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Packet.Net is a high performance .Net assembly for dissecting and constructing
|
||
|
|
network packets such as ethernet, ip, tcp, udp etc.

Code is found in the PacketDotNet namespace.

Getting started
|
||
|
|
===============
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A few basic examples can be found in the Examples/ directory.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Debug vs. Release builds
|
||
|
|
========================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Debug build depends on log4net and has log4net calls in some of its classes and
|
||
|
|
code paths.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Release build does NOT depend on log4net and, taking advantage of conditional
|
||
|
|
method attributes, does not include any calls to log4net methods. This ensures that there
|
||
|
|
is no performance impact on release builds.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Performance benchmarks
|
||
|
|
======================
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The Test/ directory contains a few benchmarks that were used to guide the design
|
||
|
|
and implementation of Packet.Net. These benchmarks either contain 'performance' or
|
||
|
|
'benchmark' in their names.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you have a performance concern or issue you'll want to write a concise test that reproduces
|
||
|
|
your usage case in a controlled manner. It will then be possible to run and re-run
|
||
|
|
this test case in various profiling modes in order to look at potential ways of
|
||
|
|
optimizing code. The tests will also provide a baseline from which to compare
|
||
|
|
any proposed performance improvements in order to ensure that changes are not
|
||
|
|
inadvertantly reducing instead of increasing performance.
