1. LAN/WAN Packet Trace

The Prestige packet trace records and analyzes packets running on LAN and
WAN interfaces. It is designed for users with technical backgrounds who are
interested in the details of the packet flow on LAN or WAN end of Prestige. It is
also very helpful for diagnostics if you have compatibility problems with your
ISP or if you want to know the details of a packet for configuring a filter rule.
The format of the display is as following:
Packet:
[index] [timer/second][channel-receive/transmit][length] [protocol]
[sourceIP/port] [destIP/port]
There are two ways to dump the trace:
Online Trace--display the trace real time on screen
Offline Trace--capture the trace first and display later
