Hi, Any chance of getting forward on this? I'm not sure what I should change/make clearer to get this request accepted. We now have another use case in Wireshark: - Exporting decrypted packets from SSL sessions by "cutting" them off after the SSL layer and saving the file with the new DLT value the TLV:s and then the PDU:s Following after the SSL layer. Regards Anders Broman

I'm not sure I get the objection, do you feel that these protocol type tag isn't clear enough? #define EXP_PDU_TAG_LINKTYPE 11 /**< The value part is the linktype value defined by tcpdump * http://www.tcpdump.org/linktypes.html */ #define EXP_PDU_TAG_PROTO_NAME 12 /**< The value part should be an ASCII non NULL terminated string * of the short protocol name used by Wireshark e.g "sip" * Will be used to call the next dissector. */ /* Add protocol type related tags here NOTE Only one protocol type tag may be present in a packet, the first one found will be used*/ The meta data tags are optional. -- ] Never tell me the odds! | ipv6 mesh networks [ ] Michael Richardson, Sandelman Software Works | network architect [ ] m...@sandelman.ca http://www.sandelman.ca/ | ruby on rails [ _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers _______________________________________________ tcpdump-workers mailing list tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org https://lists.sandelman.ca/mailman/listinfo/tcpdump-workers
