    atmdump is a command that can capture or generate single ATM cells. It requires specifying an interface, VPI, and VCI. When capturing, it displays timestamps, cell headers, and payload hex dumps. When sending, it allows setting the payload type, GFC, and CLP fields, reading the payload from standard input. Some drivers may not pass OAM cells transparently.

    NAME
    atmdump - capture or generate ATM cells

    SYNOPSIS
    atmdump [-i] [ -t type [-g gfc] [-c] ] [itf.]vpi.vci

    DESCRIPTION
    atmdump captures or generates single ATM cells ("AAL0"). When capturing
    cells, a time stamp, the cell header contents, and a hex dump of the
    cell payload are shown. When sending cells, the payload type, the
    generic flow control (GFC), and the cell loss priority (CLP) can be
    set.

    In both modes of operation, the interface number, the VPI, and the VCI
    have to be specified.

    When sending, atmdump expects the cell payload on standard input. If


    only less than 48 bytes can be read, the remaining space is padded with
    zero bytes.

    OPTIONS
    -i displays timestamps as the interval since the last cell recep‐
    tion. By default, the absolute time is displayed. This options
    is ignored in transmit mode.

    -t type
    selects transmit mode and specifies the payload type. A list of
    valid payload type numbers can be obtained by invoking atmdump
    without any arguments.

    -g gfc specifies the value of the GFC field. gfc has to be in the range
    from 0 to 15, default is zero.

    -c sets the cell loss priority flag, indicating low priority. By


    default, CLP is not set.

    RESTRICTIONS
    Some device drivers may not pass OAM cells transparently.
