Troubleshooting > Using packet capture files with OPC UA PubSub |
QuickOPC can read the OPC UA PubSub network traffic from a file, instead of using live data. This is extremely handy for various kinds of troubleshooting, diagnostics, analysis and similar tasks. It allows you to capture the data generated by the publisher once, and then replay it as many times as you like.
In order to work with packet capture files, the OpcLabs.Pcap assembly and its dependencies are needed in runtime. For more information, see OpcLabs.Pcap Usage.
The network capture needs to be in the PCAP format. Various tools, including Wireshark, can read and write this format. The current versions of Wireshark, however, store network capture in a newer format (PCAPNG) by default. Using the "Save as type" drop-down in Wireshark's "Save file as" dialog, it is, however, easy to save your network captures in the PCAP format, or even convert existing PCAPNG captures to PCAP.
For UDP message mapping, call the UseUdpCaptureFile Extension Method on the PubSub connection descriptor object, passing it the name of the capture file to be used. For Ethernet message mapping, call the UseEthernetCaptureFile Extension Method instead.
The default file name extension is ".pcap".

When reading UDP message captures, there is a built-in IP fragment reassembler (for both IPv4 and IPv6), and thus you can work with messages whose requirements exceed the network's MTU.
The packets in the capture file are used to provide "timed" replay of the network communication. This means that when the capture is replayed, the software not only mimics the actual data in the packets, but it also attempts to maintain the same timing of the packets as it appears in the capture. An initial delay is added before the replay starts, in order to allow for startup tasks on the receiver side to finalize.
