Examples

Incoming information looks similar to the following:
IN [00D0C200:00001B026C09] 10:53:01am BILLYBOB 5 
IN indicates that the message is incoming. The next field is the node address. NetWare server information follows the node address, as follows. This is followed by a time, then a name (BILLYBOB) that indicates the name of a NetWare server known by the sending NetWare server. The final number (5) indicates the number of hops from the sending NetWare server to this NetWare server.

Outgoing information looks similar to the following:

OUT [1986DAD0:FFFFFFFFFFFF] 10:53:01am 00001EEE 3 5300DEEF 4 00001EF0 5 
   FADE2401 3 FEED00BB 5 
OUT [00D0C200:FFFFFFFFFFFF] 10:53:01am 
   UTIL 2 DEV0 3 HIKER 3 MUTT 2 
OUT indicates that the message is outgoing. [1986DAD0:FFFFFFFFFFFF] and [00D0C200:FFFFFFFFFFFF] are node addresses.

Either NetWare server or network information follows the node address, followed by hops to server.
