10. Decoding Protocols
10.1 Introduction
Merlin II can decode HCI, LMP and L2CAP messages, and RFCOMM, 
SDP, TCS, HDLC, PPP, OBEX, HCRP, BNEP, HID, IP, TCP, and UDP 
protocols. The default is packet level decoding, which means that baseband 
packets will be displayed when you first view a trace. If these packets are 
carrying LMP, L2CAP or other protocols, the protocols will display as 
undecoded fields such as the L2CAP packet below.
By issuing a decode command, Merlin II can decode these LMP and higher 
fields and display the data in summary statements called LMP/L2CAP 
Messages, Protocols Messages, and Protocol Transactions.
10.2 LMP and L2CAP Messages
LMP and L2CAP Messages are lines in a trace that summarize LMP and 
L2CAP actions such as an LMP connection request. LMP and L2CAP 
Messages summarize the type of action, the number of packets involved in 
the action, and the device performing the action. If the message is carrying 
higher protocol data such as RFCOMM, TCS, OBEX or SDP data, the 
message displays this data in an undecoded format that can be decoded later.
