Protocol Buffer Payload

The PBpath defines a way to address fields in binary encoded protocolbuf messages. It uses field ids to construct an address messages or fields in a nested message hierarchy.

An example for the PBpath field is shown as follows:

 1.101.2.201.301.2.401.701.2.802

In DSG, protocol buffer version 2 is used.

The following figure illustrates the Protocol Buffer (protobuf) payload fields.
