A trace of whatever comes across a certain communications resource, usually a line. You specify what you want to see. For IP, you see the contents of the actual packets. You select what IP addresses are involved, whether you only want incoming or outgoing, etc.

Take a look at the STRCMNTRC command to get an idea. Further filtering is available on the PRTCMNTRC command. You can also use SST.

The information collected is very detailed anq quite low-level - you usually need to know the structures used. IP stuff can be found in things like RFCs (requests-for-comment).

It's been said before, and you probably know this, but for all the others, I think you'll need to get really good at digging in the available sources. Asking at places like this is just one, often useful, source, but should not be the primary one, IMO. E.g., at IBM, if you want information, go to the usual <http://www-912.ibm.com/ImprovedSearch/searchoptions.jsp> and put STRCMNTRC in the search field. Entries from software knowledge base and Info Center look like good prospects.
