6.1 Dictionary

A dictionary is a metadata describing a set of key fields (along with information such as their name, type, description, and possible values) that are captured for a single transaction and summarize it. One dictionary describes transactions on one interface (such as DiameterS6a/S6d or Diameter Gx). Each interface supported by the ProTrace application has its own dictionary.
