Enum Constant Detail

Address

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability Address

Main address of the device or interface is known. This can be useful information for some analysis applications which need to know the network number of the interface the packets were captured on.

CounterDrops

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability CounterDrops

Device can report number of packets that were dropped while being recieved. This could have been attributed to errors, out buffer memory or CPU cycles.

CounterInErrors

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability CounterInErrors

Device can report number of inbound packets that contained errors as a total

CounterInOctets

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability CounterInOctets

Device can report number of inbound octets on this device as a total

CounterOutErrors

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability CounterOutErrors

Device can report number of outbound packets that were dropped due to errors

CounterOutOctets

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability CounterOutOctets

Device can report nmber of outbound octets on this device as a total

DataEncapsulation

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability DataEncapsulation

The data encapsulation of the captured packet is deterministic and known. You can use the CaptureInterface.getDataEncapsulation() method.

KernelFilter

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability KernelFilter

OS supports kernel filtering of packets.

OSArchitecture

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability OSArchitecture

Architecture of the system that the operation system is running on. This typically the value as returned by system property os.arch.

OSName

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability OSName

Operating system name on which the capture device captured the packet.

OSVersion

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability OSVersion

Operating system version on which the capture device captured the packet.

Method Detail

values

public static final CaptureInterface.Capability[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for(CaptureInterface.Capability c : CaptureInterface.Capability.values())
        System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they're declared

valueOf

public static CaptureInterface.Capability valueOf(java.lang.String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
