How to parse the "value" in an accounting message and print thecontents In "detail-..." file?

[al pat]

Ivan,
Yes, there is a cablelabs dictionary. The problem is that one of the
attributes has a complex structure that is embedded in the value part. The
value part here is just printed as a hex string - but from the packetcable
standard it is to be interpreted in a certain way. Since this payload itself
has specific meaning in the context of packetcable, some intervention will
be needed to print that - just don't know yet how to go about doing it.
