27 <tr><td>collection parser</td> <td>libPackets</td> <td>A packet parser which allows to repeat
28 another parser or which uses some additional information to decide on the type or number of
29 sub-parsers.</td></tr>

34 <tr><td>composite parser</td> <td>libPackets</td> <td>A packet parser providing access to named
35 sub-fields which are parsers themselves.</td></tr>
