41 * Subject: [tcpdump-workers] request for LINKTYPE_
43 * We've had some discussion over on ethereal-dev about a "fake link" or
44 * "raw SS7" dissector that allows dumping an arbitrary protocol into a
45 * file without any (otherwise necessary) lower level protocols. The
46 * common example has been dumping MTP3 into a file without, well, MTP2 or
47 * M2PA.
49 * We want to store these protocols directly in PCAP file format because
50 * it's well defined and there isn't another (popular) file format for
51 * capturing SS7 messages that we can reverse engineer (and we want to read
52 * these files into Ethereal). Rather than creating a new file format, it's
53 * a lot easier to just allocate a LINKTYPE_.
55 * Here is the original post thread:
57 * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200306/threads.html#00200
59 * July's thread on the subject:
61 * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200307/threads.html#00124
63 * August's thread:
65 * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200308/threads.html#00193
68 * and one of the last messages--which is why I'm mailing you today:
70 * http://ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200308/msg00193.html
73 * Based on the message in the last URL, I'd like to request a new
74 * LINKTYPE_: LINKTYPE_RAWSS7.
76 * This packets in this file type will contain a header:
79 typedef struct _rawss7_hdr {
80 /* NOTE: These are in network-byte order. */
81 guint32 type;
82 guint16 length;
83 guint16 spare;
84 } rawss7_hdr;
88 * followed by protocol data for whatever protocol 'type' indicates.
90 * There was some discussion about these protocol 'type's being allocated by
91 * tcpdump-workers as well. In fact it would be handy to have one place to
92 * allocate such numbers, so what do you think about allocating 3 more (for
93 * now) LINKTYPE_'s:
96 #define LINKTYPE_RAWSS7_MTP2 140
97 #define LINKTYPE_RAWSS7_MTP3 141
98 #define LINKTYPE_RAWSS7_SCCP 142
102 * There is no reason this can't be used to store non-SS7 protocols, but
103 * it's what we need to use it for now...
