虽然一些应用程序需要知道网络数据包的格式来执行它们的任务，但到目前为止，每个应用程序都使用自己的数据包描述数据库。本文通过提出NetPDL来解决这个问题，NetPDL是一种基于xml的语言，用于描述包头，它有可能实现一个通用的、独立于应用程序的协议描述数据库，该数据库可以在多个应用程序之间共享。此外，与协议数据库相关的常见功能可以在库中实现，库可以作为实现网络应用程序的基本构建块。
Although several applications need to know the format of network packets to perform their tasks, till now, each application uses its own packet description database. This paper addresses this problem by proposing the NetPDL, an XML-based language for describing packet headers, which has the potential of enabling the realization of a common, application-independent protocol description database that can be shared among several applications. Further, common functionalities related to the protocol database can be implemented in a library, which can be a basic building block for implementing networking applications.
