Hello, I would like to request a new link-layer header type values: LINKTYPE_ANDROID_ADB DLT_ANDROID_ADB
LINKTYPE_ANDROID_LOGGER DLT_ANDROID_LOGGER First is ADB. Android Debug Bridge is protocols used to manage Android platforms (connect, send command, receive data). Please check also Android documentation: http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html For example: There are commands like: OKAY, WRTE (write), CLSE (close), etc. They can be dissected, for example in Wireshark. Second: Android Logger (knowns as Logcat logs) is format of (debug, for analyse of issues) Android processes messages. Logger is something like Linux kernel messages or/and syslog. You can see implementation on Wireshark side - it can be useful to understand this request: https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=8279 Main purpose of Logger: add system logs allow to analyse application/protocols issues. (example: file over Bluetooth is not send and there is logcat log "socket not open: permission denied") Main purpose of ADB: it is protocols. Technically: 1. There can be a lot of Android interfaces: see "adb devices" (one interface per device [formally two: one for ADB, second for LOGCAT]) 2. Logger can be put over ADB. 3. ADB can be put over TCP (adb connect localhost) or USB (default). I think you can replace LOGGER by LOGCAT is you think that "logcat" is more clear.
