A Protocol Data Unit is a block of data that is independent of packet boundaries. For stream based protocols the PDU is the meaningful unit of data. PDUs do not respect packet boundaries at all. Unsniff tracks all PDUs in addition to packets, this allows for powerful stream based protocol analysis capabilities. The PDU object represents a single PDU present in the capture file.
