Request new DLT value for Infiniband link

[Oren Kladnitsky <orenk () mellanox com>]

Hi,

I'd like to request a new DLT/LINKTYPE value for Infiniband traffic (DLT_INFINIBAND).
Infiniband spec is available at:
http://members.infinibandta.org/kwspub/spec/V1r1_2_1.Release_12062007.zip
(registration required).
See "Chapter 5.: Data packet format" for the packet layout. LRH (Local Route Header) is the first header of all data 
packets.

Wireshark already has support for Infiniband dissection (epan/dissectors/packet-infiniband.c) under encap of DLT_ERF.

I'd like Infiniband to have a dedicated DLT for future pcapng support which does not require the ERF encapsulation.

Thanks,
