Title: Looking for a Siebel Resonate Decode
I
notice from a previous posting you said it was using IP protocol numbers 173 and
174. As they aren't using the standard transport layers (such as TCP or UDP)
it is almost impossible to know how Siebel are encapuslating their data
within the the IP packet. You either have to guess from the
contents or contact the designers of the protocol. If you are guessing
you might have to understand the protocol model eg Is it a
sequence of Request, Acknowledge/Response. (Or simply Push,
Push, Push, Push, Ack.. Or ......). So to reverse-engineer it you need to
understand what it is trying to do, how it might achieve it, and interatively
figure it out from the contents.
(Of
course seeing that they aren't publishing the protocol they might be
intentionally obfuscating the protocol just to be difficult. This is probably
assumption by the manufacturer that you never need to understand how it works,
but that you should either trust them or rely on their support
:-)

Hello -
I love the product -
We are putting in Siebel Web release and are using
the Resonate to do load balancing.
There is a lot of traffic between servers and this
is in a resonate protocol.
I can send samples of this - but do not know how to
dig inside the details to know how it is working.
Anyone have ideas on how to decode ?
Thanks for your insights.
henry
