Detailed Description

This descriptor offers 3 dynamic offsets, IP protocol field and a 6-bit color field. The packet descriptor is suited for applications doing NetFlow and IDS. This descriptor offers a 38-bit color field, which is useful when identifying billions of flows or alternatively holding the hash value.
Note: The wireLength field has been sacrificed so in case of slicing the original packet length is unknown.
