What is the format of the TIBCO-RV packet headers and message bodies?

I need to decode a packet sent using TIBCO-RV and pull the fields from the header and skip the message body. I didn't have any examples or documentation. Does anyone know of any open source applications that can do this, or if there is a Wireshark dissector out there somewhere?

You might want to try applying for a license and getting the official documentation. According to Wikipedia :

TIBCO provides messaging APIs in C, C ++, Java, Visual BASIC, Perl and .NET for accepting data feeds in MS Excel spreadsheets and other applications of choice.



Otherwise, you could dive into the TIBCO: RV Perl module .

The methods that TibcoRV implements with robust mutli-cast are correct, but could be easily redesigned. I don't think any official documentation goes into detail in the package details. Getting data is pretty easy if you have an API.

Several things come to mind:



  • Does the client work on your computer? This is required to create a multicast subscription (if you are not using broadcast mode). Otherwise, you need some client to subscribe to the multicast channel, or your switch should not forward traffic.
  • Typically, you will have one rrd running locally. You have TCP traffic between RRD and your application. You can use an application like socketsniff to view the traffic between them.
