TDR Panel

The TDR panel contains lists of transactions (TDRs) that matched a given query. If the query does not have any conditions, then the panel includes all TDRs captured for the selected trace and for interfaces selected by the query. The TDRs belonging to the same TTR are displayed beside each other with the same background color. The fields displayed in the result are defined in Query display fields. The result is divided into pages (the user can define the page size) and the user can navigate through the pages (first page, previous and next page).

The user is also able to perform a variety of actions:

• Use navigation buttons to go to first, previous or next page
• Reverse sorting (Ascending, descending)
• Set the page size (number of records per page) for TDR table
• Get the number of records which match the current query
• Display statistics of the current trace
• Modify the query and re-execute it to refine the transactions
• Export a file that contains a summary of TDR records, an event diagram, a list of TTR events, and a full decoding panel for every Diameter, RADIUS, or RADIUS embedded within a Diameter payload message. There are multiple formats in which the file may be exported:
  • Export TTR as HTML - exports the file from the currently selected TTR in an HTML format
  • Export TTR as PCAP - exports the file from the currently selected TTR in a PCAP format that is directly downloaded to the user's server without a progress bar or a way to cancel the export
  • Export trace as PCAP - exports the contents of a trace into a PCAP format that is directly downloaded to the user's server, indicated by a progress bar that also allows the user to cancel the export. If the export is cancelled, ProTrace exports all information that was downloaded prior to the cancellation.

    Note:

    ProTrace exports payload data in IPv4 or IPv6 based on the original transport type. TCP or SCTP transport is used in the export based on the original transport type. Source IP, source port, destination IP and destination port from the payload are used. When the payload size exceeds the maximum of TCP/SCTP packet size, the payload is segmented into multiple IP packets so that 3rd party tools can assemble and present it as a single diameter payload.

    Note:

    Payloads sent from DSR to IDIH contain Diameter/RADIUS layer only (no IP or TCP/SCTP layers). Therefore, IDIH makes a best effort to simulate those layers when constructing the PCAP file for export. Trace export exports up to 1 MB of payload data. The rest of the payloads are ignored. The user can refine the query to accommodate all the payloads the user wants to export and re-export it again. When TLS or DTLS is used as the transport, the export displays TCP for TLS and SCTP for DTLS as the Transport value.

    Note:

    When encoding and displaying RADIUS AVP User-Password, IDIH does not decode the password and display it in a readable format, including in the ProTrace Decode Panel, HTML export, and TDR/TTR PCAP export.
• Change the layout of the panels

The TDR list for a network trace highlights all TDRs related in the same fashion as highlighting is for site TDRs. All related TDRs are grouped and highlighted (white or blue), regardless if the TDRs are from a network trace or site trace. When TLS or DTLS is used as the transport, ProTrace displays these two protocols in the Transport column.
