+===meta data file===
+
+The meta data file is always created for every test session.
+
+This file contains the names of the other files, the clients & servers IP  
addr and FQDN, and the encoded line of the web100/analysis data. The meta  
data contains lines in the following order:
+
+|| *#* || *Name* || *Description/Comment* ||
+|| 1. || Date/Time || Timestamp of the beginning of the test session ||
+|| 2. || C2S [NDTDataFormat#web100_snaplog_trace snaplog] file || Filename  
of the snaplog taken during C2S Throughput test ||
+|| 3. || C2S [NDTDataFormat#tcpdump_trace ndttrace] file || Filename of  
the tcpdump trace taken during C2S Throughput test ||
+|| 4. || S2C [NDTDataFormat#web100_snaplog_trace snaplog] file || Filename  
of the snaplog taken during S2C Throughput test ||
+|| 5. || S2C [NDTDataFormat#tcpdump_trace ndttrace] file || Filename of  
the tcpdump trace taken during S2C Throughput test ||
+|| 6. || [NDTDataFormat#cputime_trace cputime] file || Filename of the  
cputime trace taken during the whole test session ||
+|| 7. || server IP address || IP address of the NDT server ||
+|| 8. || server hostname || Fully qualified hostname of the NDT server ||

applicable) ||
+|| 14. || Summary data || A one-line summary of the test containing the  
final values of some of the web100 variables with an additional analysis  
details. The particular values are separated with commas without any  
spaces. The results are written with the same order and contain the same  
values as the one-line summary from the [NDTDataFormat#web100srv.log_file  
web100srv.log file] (except the date and client name) ||
+|| 15. || Additional data || (*optional*) A multi-line information  
containing additional data sent by the client using the META protocol.
