2327.0. "Probewatch - file structure and record format of Discovery files" by GIDDAY::CHONG (Andrew Chong - Sydney CSC ) Wed May 31 1995 04:11

Probewatch for windows V1.0

The discovery tool creates a file xxxxxxxx.IP where xxxxxxxx is the subnet
address in hex. A customer want to know the fiel structure and record format of
the file so that he can write an application to access information from it. 

Is this information available ? or is it company  confidential ?

2327.1don't do it - it's a dead endNAC::FORRESTMon Jun 05 1995 11:4112
    I don't have the file format, and I don't know if it is Frontier
    confidential. However, since Frontier took the discovery feature out of
    V3.x, I would hate to see the customer invest time and effort on
    something that is a dead end.
    
    V3.x lets you install domains in Net or Sub-Net mode, providing the 
    probe supports it. We are getting DECpacketprobe firmware near the 
    end of June that will support these modes. So the data is kept on 
    the probe now.
    
    If your customer still wants to do this, then have them call Frontier 
    at 508-244-4000.
