Hi everybody,

During my internship, I developed a module to analyze the lustre protocol with
tcpdump.
I used ftp://ftp.lustre.org/pub/lustre/other/tcpdump-lustre.tgz as a starting
point.
I made a .tar.gz which contains:
- tcpdump-3.9.5 including the lustre module
- libpcap-0.9.5

It is optimized for Lustre-1.4.8.1 but can work with other versions where the
network protocol doesn''t change a lot. I made a patch too, in order to
use it on
lustre-1.6, which only decode protocol v1 until now.

Reviews/Remarks/Feedback welcomed.
