Revision history for IPDR

Please see the examples directory on how to use the module.

IP ownership has now been resolved. This code is released under
artistic_2 license and any changes made,bugs found, general information


additions should be presented back to the author.

0.20	11/11/2009
	Fixed the really bad TCP handler, not sure how or why i did the
	previous way but should now work correctly.

	Added TCP relaying. New options are

	RemoteAddr		IP address
	RemotePort		Port
	RemoteTimeOut		In Seconds
	RemoteSpeed		In Mbps. ie. 40 or 100 will send at 40mbps or
					100mbps. Useful for managing network
					or server utilisation. Default is 10.

	Any data received is then sent on to the remote IP and Port using
	a clear channel TCP connection accepted by the Cisco module. SSL
	sending may be added in the future release

	Currently the remote sending is only supported on the Cisco and 
	CiscoSSL modules.

	Added CiscoSSL module. Really this is the Cisco module but using
	IO::Socket::SSL and pointers to a CA and Host key with

	SSLKeyFile
	SSLHostFile

	Example keys are included in the distribution TO GET YOU GOING BUT
	DO NOT USE THEM IN ANY PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT!! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

	See CiscoSSL on how to create a key using openssl and how to apply
	it to the router side.

	Added 

	Force32BitMode

	This defaults to 0 and is only applicable to the Cisco and CiscoSSL
	modules. The 'make test' will still fail/skip, however if collecting
	from Cisco7200 series UBRs 64bit is not required and setting this
	to 1 will allow the Cisco/CiscoSSL to still work.

0.19	02/09/2009
	Added attributes to document level which are

	xmlns
	count
	version
	creationTime
	xsi:schemaLocation
	IPDRRecorderInfo
	xmlns:xsi
	endTime
	docId

	Added

	IPDRcreationTime
	RecType

	The version 3.5 template being used.

	Changed the 'DataHandler' function to also return a pointer to
	the module object to provide hooks to internal functions.

0.18	28/08/2009
	Added document to the sequences returned
0.17	26/08/2009
	Another bug in the Cisco module (you probably do not believe I 
	tested this extensively)
0.16	24/08/2009
	Bug in the Cisco module causing the DOCSIS parser to fail
	Thanks to Rui Dias for providing debug and comms to track it down
0.15	20/07/2009
	IP ownership resolved and now release under the artistic_2 license.
0.14	17/07/2009
	Made DataHandler fork when processing data. The time between
	pass off to external function and keep alive timeout could be
	exceeded, so to prevent stall fork applied.
0.13	16/07/2009
	Added keep alive to after session stop, otherwise IPDR exporter
	reported timeout. Session stop is not a disconnect state, so
	collector needs to send keepalive to maintain an open session.
	Fixed CMcpeIpv4List so at LEAST the first entry in the list is
	shown. Checking for more entries should work however there is
	no data available to be 100%
0.12	12/07/2009
	Changed some of the debug error messages to be more meaningful.
	template_value_definitions needs some work. Getting a clearly defined
	valueset is proving very difficult so more vendors required.
	Added some attributes for TCP extensions, so the data is sent to
	third party servers, if needed.
0.11	03/02/2009
	Fixed a typo to pass correct information to IO::Select
0.10	21/11/2008
	Modified some of the DATA_ACK messaging so large sequence sets
	of data are ACKd correctly. ( in someways a bug previously )
	Added 64bit check upon start up. Important as some users reported
	problems with the data but in fact turned out to be non 64bit
	OS or installations of Perl ( make test anyone? )
0.09	9/11/2008
	Added support for 5.1 series software for Motorola BSR
	Some TCP and packet handling changes cause 0.08 to break
	Added nice connection failure state
0.08	3/11/2008
	DOCSIS 1.1 & 3 supported properly now.
	Multiple flows caused issues with session counting. This is
	now resolved.
	Added additional feature to XDR handler to return the RAW data
	before processing to allow independent debugging.
	Tidied up some memory leak issues
	Started work on an IPDR relay function. This module will connect/get
	IPDR data then allow other clients to connect to it for relay. Useful
	to allow vendors/third parties access to the data but not access to
	the original source due to security.
0.07    16/10/2008
        All module versions brought into line for the distribution
        Makes it easier to maintain one version across the board.
0.06	16/10/2008
	Released into the real world after testing completed
	License out under per unit fee.
0.05	Made client and cisco have the same construct names
0.04	Reworked the XDR handler
0.03	Alpha state mark 2
0.02	Alpha state
0.01    01/09/2007
