Low-Level Reader Protocol (LLRP)

The Low-Level Reader Protocol is a standards-based interface for communication between Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Reader Devices and Client Devices.

Protocol dependencies

TCP: The only transport specified for the EPCglobal Low-Level Reader Protocol is TCP. The IANA assigned TCP port number for LLRP is 5084.

Example Traffic

The following is an example of LLRP session traffic:

Wireshark

The LLRP dissector implements support for dissection of messages conforming to the LLRP specification version 1.0. Future enhancements to the LLRP dissector could include:

Support for dissection of vendor extensions, loaded at runtime from an XML file conforming to the schema defined by the LLRP Toolkit project.
Validation of the existence of required parameters and their multiplicity.

Preference Settings

There are no preferences available for the LLRP dissector.

Example Capture File

A capture file (in pcap format) showing an example session between an LLRP Reader and LLRP Client Application is available on the SampleCaptures page:

SampleCaptures/llrp.cap

Display Filter

A complete list of LLRP display filter fields is displayed below. For a list of the many LLRP message types, parameter types and field types, obtain a copy of the latest LLRP specification from the LLRP area of the EPCglobal website.

LLRP Display Filter Types

Filter	Description
`llrp`	Matches all LLRP traffic
`llrp.version`	Matches all messages with the specified LLRP version (LLRPv1.0 is "llrp.version == 1")
`llrp.type`	Matches all messages with the specified message type
`llrp.length`	Matches all messages with the specified total message length
`llrp.id`	Matches all messages with the specified message ID
`llrp.field.type`	Matches all messages containing the specified field type
`llrp.field.length`	Matches all messages containing fields with the specified bitlength
`llrp.field.value`	Matches all messages containing fields with the specified value
`llrp.parameter.type`	Matches all messages containing parameters with the specified type
`llrp.parameter.length`	Matches all messages containing parameters with the specified total length

Example: Show only GET_READER_CONFIG messages:

 llrp.type == 2

Capture Filter

The following capture filter will produce packets sent and received on the IANA assigned TCP port for the Low-Level Reader Protocol:

 tcp.port == 5084
