In searching for the answer to a question I have regarding binary
encapsulation, I decided to join the IETF’s listserv to see if anyone
is familiar with this. In the context of packet headers (e.g. IP) and deep packet
inspection, does anyone know what binary encapsulation is, and if so,
can you please explain it? I understand the concept of encapsulation,
which is the process of appending packet headers to each other as the packet
moves through the layers of the OSI model. However, I have not found an
explanation anywhere as to what is binary encapsulation. In my research,
I have looked at research databases (e.g. ACM Digital Library, IEEE, ProQuest
Computing, etc.), Google Scholar, and used Google’s search engine to
search the commercial Internet. In addition, I have posted my question to
a few forums and contacted three university professors with expertise in the
field of networking. However, no one seems to know about binary
encapsulation. The few bits of information I have found explain binary
encapsulation in the context of computer programming. However, even with
that information, I would have to guess whether these explanations are directly
and exactly transferable to binary packet header encapsulation. With that
said, if anyone has time to respond to this email and explain the concept in
the context of packet headers, I would sincerely appreciate it. Another question I have, though I realize that even fewer
people might know the answer, is if anyone knows what JSTD encapsulation is.
If not, any explanation anyone can provide for binary encapsulation will still
be very helpful. Otherwise, if no one is familiar with binary
encapsulation, can anyone please refer me to someone they think might know
about it? Thank you. Respectfully, Peter Schwartz _____________________________ Peter
