Hi there,
I was wondering if any of you guys know a good tutorial/book/essay/white paper on creating a generic protocol parser? What I am needing is a generic protocol parser that can read in human editable configuration files at run time and be able to configure itself to read the specified protocol, and place it into a data structure representing the packet and the data that it contains. It looks like everything will need to be generic, almost nothing is going to be hardcoded into the parser. I can't really ask any specific questions right now, for I do not really understand the concept entirely. But I do need to be pointed in the right direction for learning more about how to go about this.
Do any of you guys have suggestions?
thanks,
Nick
