    Hi,

    In order to read such a file, you would need to know first in what format that is stored.

    There are many different raw CDR formats depending on the type of CDR, the network vendor, etc.

    In this case, it looks like it is probably some binary format, with some header information, including a 2 or 4 byte length identifier.
    Within the file contents, it looks like it has some form of Tag-Length-Value encoding which may be an ASN.1 format.

    Outside of that, without a specification for the data format, it's difficult to know how this data is to be interpreted.

    If you have a specification though you should probably look into using the Lavastorm Data Reader (LDR) nodes to read such formats.

    See here for more information: http://www.lavastorm.com/products/data-reader/

    In order to use the LDR nodes, you would require an additional license, so you should probably take a look at the above link and contact your Lavastorm Sales/Support representative.

    Regards,
    Tim.

    Hi Tim,

    Thanks for the quick respond. Yes your right the content of the CDR is in binary format and about the specification I have it in hand. Let me address this to Phil Ball that we already contact.
