[tcpdump-workers] Request for new LINKTYPE_* code LINKTYPE_AUERSWALD_LOG
--- Begin Message --- Dear tcpdump developers, We would like to request a dedicated LINKTYPE_* / DLT_* code. Auerswald is a major German telecommunications equipment manufacturer. We have implemented the option to capture (combined) network traffic and logging information as pcap/pcapng in our soon to be released new product line. For development, we so far have used LINKTYPE_USER0 and would like to change this to a proper code before the commercial release. We also plan to publicly release the dissector and would like to make sure both can be released with a proper code from the get go. The dissector we currently use is however only in lua. Our preferred name would be LINKTYPE_AUERSWALD_LOG If anyone is interested we can provide further information.

To save CI runtime, I have committed a063c2d21417345ee583551ef2c07a0be6b32696 for libpcap. This will currently run only five builders (amd64, arm64, ppc64le, s390x and osx) and do the matrix processing with scripts. We can build with ~ half the time (Total time ~26 mins). These scripts can be used locally for build tests, used on other CI and easily be updated to run new tests (32 bits builds, sanitizers, coverage, etc). Next step is doing similar setup for tcpdump... --- End Message --- ___ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers

Please provide a detailed description of the packet format, sufficient to allow somebody to make a program such as tcpdump, or Wireshark, or anything else that reads pcap or pcapng files. --- End Message --- ___ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers

Ideally, you would have a document somewhere that would describe your capture format. We might want to review the format. I would note that if you are just adding logging, and you just want to use pcapng, that you might store your ethernet captures as normal EN10B, and your logging in a new LINKTYPE_, which was specific to your log format. In pcapng, you can mix different LINKTYPEs, in a single file. (But, not in pcap, which is/was a major reason pcapng was designed) Then you can ideally follow: https://github.com/the-tcpdump-group/libpcap/blob/master/doc/DLT_ALLOCATE_HOWTO.md send a pull request. > If anyone is interested we can provide further information. > Best regards > Frank Gorgas-Waller Software Architect > Auerswald Gesellschaft für Datensysteme mbH Vor den Grashöfen 1 38162 > Cremlingen Germany -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works|IoT architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/| ruby on rails[ --- End Message --- ___ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
