Hello Shivlu,

I didn't find a reference for debug sanity in the command lookup tool.

However, my guess is the following:

this output is related to a small buffer system buffer.

the packet is simply holded there for some time :

inputtime 1d09h (elapsed 00:00:00.320)

outputtime 1d09h (elapsed 00:00:18.580)

the packet is 62 byte in size.

no info about the physical interface is available :

if_input 0x0 (None), if_output 0x0 (None)

and the packet is without a L2 encapsulation :enctype 0 (None)

the packet was probably held for 18 msec before being sent to the cpu for process switching.

be aware that the "packet" could also be the first 62 bytes of a longer packet sent to to the system buffers before it needed to be process switched.

This is platform dependent.

Hope to help

Giuseppe
