Welcome to the Network Monitor Parsers Project!
This project contains the latest updates for the Network Monitor parsers for open standard protocols, as well as the Windows and SQL Server protocols described in theMSDN Open Specifications. All parser development for those products has been done through this CodePlex site since November 2008. As a result, parser developers, enthusiasts, and the
like can have access to the latest parser changes immediately. We welcome your parser submissions and input as well as your parser bug reports.
The Network Monitor Parsers project is now part of the Systems Infrastructure & Integration Gallery of theOutercurve Foundation. This is a milestone for the project, since the community can now direct the development through an independent Open Source foundation, with Microsoft a participating community member. We look forward
to enlarging the parser usage community and attracting more protocol developers to contribute additional protocol parsers to enable interoperability among a wide range of technologies!

- 12/16/2009 - Great news for NPL users! We have created a NPL Parser Reference Map to help you browsing through the list of the protocol parsers defined in the Network Monitor Parser packages and identifying the references for each of these protocol parsers without necessity of downloading the parser packages.
- 11/04/2009 - We are pleased to announce the release of a new parser package, Microsoft_SQL.msi. This package contains parsers for theMicrosoft SQL Server Protocols published in the MSDN Open Specifications. It depends on the Microsoft_Parsers.msi. So in order to use the SQL parsers correctly, you must first install Microsoft_Parsers.msi, then the Microsoft_SQL.msi.

TheDevelop Branch contains the latest changes from the parser developers; however, it may not be completely stable. TheVerified Build Branch is a copy of the latest development branch which has passed a set of tests, it should be fairly stable.
