Re: [tcpdump-workers] DLT_ reserve request for IPMI trace captures

2014-05-08 Thread Dmitry

Hello, all,

Can I expect any reply (better positive :)) regarding my question?
If more details are required in order to get progress on the request, I 
can submit them.


Looking forward for any comments.

Regards,
Dmitry

Hello, PCAP library maintainers,

Please, reserve a DLT_ number for IPMI message trace captures used by 
the Pigeon Point Systems ipmb_traced utility.


The ipmb_traced utility is capable to capture IPMI traces from several 
IPMI channels simultaneously. The traced IPMI channels may have 
different messaging protocols.


The captured data includes meta-data which describes each trace 
packet: which channel the packet is from, its direction, protocol 
format, and other characteristics.


The capture data format differs from formats of already defined DLT_ 
types (199 and 209), thus, the new DLT_ value is needed.


My suggestion is to name the new value as DLT_IPMI_TRACE.

With regards,
Dmitry Bazhenov

You can't expect a reply until people see your message. :-)

Your original message never arrived in my mailbox, and may never have made it 
to the list (moderation?), so I didn't see anything until today.

Please give a detailed description of the meta-data format, with the byte order 
of multi-byte integral-valued fields specified.
