Capturing VoIP and Ethernet traffic

  • Connect to the SBC using a ssh connection
  • Start tbx_cli_tools_remote (type "tbx_cli_tools_remote")

The following is displayed:

Available remote hosts to control (TBX_GW_PORT=12358, local IPs 172.16.0.1 / 172.18.0.1). Press corresponding letter to

  • Connect to the tbrouter application
  • Start capture using the 'p' key (lowercase p), leave default parameters and press 'enter'
  • Stop capture using the 'p' key (lowercase p)

Retrieve VoIP captures

VoIP capture files (pcap/Wireshark compatible) are locate here:

 /lib/tb/toolpack/tbrouter/pcap

To download the voip capture file, use sFTP on the management port. This can be done on Windows using tools like Filezilla or WinSCP. Note: There can be multiple capture files per capture session (for example, on systems with 10Gbps network devices, because Ethernet packets on these devices are spread to multiple packets processing/capture cores)
