Abstract
A device may determine a set of network traffic monitoring parameters associated with identifying a packet for capture. The set of network traffic monitoring parameters may identify a particular protocol layer at which to perform packet capture. The device may configure packet capture and protocol layer state determination based on the set of network traffic monitoring parameters. The device may perform packet capture of the packet at a time when the packet is received at a protocol stack associated with the particular protocol layer based on configuring packet capture and protocol layer state determination. The device may determine a protocol layer state at the time when the packet is received at the protocol stack based on configuring packet capture and protocol layer state determination. The device may provide information identifying the packet and/or the protocol layer state.
