        NAS-IP-Address = 101.101.101.3

        Acct-Status-Type = Interim-Update

        Acct-Session-Id = "I=2        20+000000\000\000\000\t"

        CableLabs-Event-Message =
0x0004493d32202020202020202032302b30303030303000000009000100012020202020202032302b3030303030300000004032303038313230383134343133362e3030300000000880000600

        CableLabs-Direction-indicator = 0x0001

        CableLabs-MTA-Endpoint-Name = "MTA Endpoint"

        CableLabs-Calling-Party-Number = "                sipp"

        CableLabs-Called-Party-Number = "             service"

        CableLabs-Routing-Number = "             service"

        CableLabs-Attr-87 = 0x0003

        CableLabs-Event-Message =
0x0004493d32202020202020202032302b3030303030300000000a000100012020202020202032302b3030303030300000004132303038313230383134343133362e3030300000000880000600

        CableLabs-Direction-indicator = 0x0002

        CableLabs-MTA-Endpoint-Name = "MTA Endpoint"

        CableLabs-Calling-Party-Number = "                sipp"

        CableLabs-Called-Party-Number = "             service"

        CableLabs-Routing-Number = "             service"

        CableLabs-Attr-87 = 0x0003

        Client-IP-Address = 101.101.101.3

        Acct-Unique-Session-Id = "b9e905ab4cefd846"

        Timestamp = 1218927724


Both the instances of "Cablelabs-Event-Message" should translate to things
like

Version-ID (4 bytes), BCID (24 bytes), Signaling_Start, ...


The above is just a single packet that I have attached, a call has 7 such
events in my case.
