Protocol body represents particular payload on transport level (OSI layer 4).
Typically this payload in encapsulated into network level (OSI layer 3) packet, which includes "protocol number" field that would be used to decide what's inside the payload and how to parse it. Thanks to IANA's standardization effort, multiple network level use the same IDs for these payloads named "protocol numbers".
This is effectively a "router" type: it expects to get protocol number as a parameter, and then invokes relevant type parser based on that parameter.
This page hosts a formal specification of protocol_body using Kaitai Struct. This specification can be automatically translated into a variety of programming languages to get a parsing library.
All parsing code for C# generated by Kaitai Struct depends on the C# runtime library. You have to install it before you can parse data.
The C# runtime library is available in the NuGet Gallery. Installation instructions can also be found there.
Parse a local file and get structure in memory:
var data = ProtocolBody.FromFile("path/to/local/file.bin");
Or parse structure from a byte array:
byte[] someArray = new byte[] { ... };
var data = new ProtocolBody(new KaitaiStream(someArray));
After that, one can get various attributes from the structure by accessing properties like:
data.Body // => get body
// This is a generated file! Please edit source .ksy file and use kaitai-struct-compiler to rebuild
