Capture .pcap trace from CG board using cgpcap tool

Introduction 

The cgpcap tool captures IP packets from a Dialogic® CG series Media Board to a .pcap file than can be viewed using Wireshark. 

The tool can trace one port or all ports, but note that full tracing could overload the board. For example, a CG 6565 runs at about 26% CPU with 120 ports, full duplex 20 msec g711, but turning on full tracing increases that to about 47%. Tracing a single port costs under 1%.

This tracing capability is included in all CG series runtimes built after Mar 3 2010 for Natural Access 2005, R8 or R9.
