Request for new DLT

[Pascal Quantin <pascal.quantin () gmail com>]

Hi all,

Anders Broman, Wireshark core developer, is currently designing an export
functionality for PDUs and would need a DLT allocated for this new
functionality.
You will find below the email he tried to send to this mailing list a few
days ago and that got bounced. I hope mine will go through :)

Best regards,
Pascal.

Hi,
I would need a DLT for a wrapper around higher level PDU's or per-packet
DLT:s the format is multipurpose and consists of a number of TLV:s
proceeding the actual PDU.
There are TLV:s which describes which protocol the PDU is and meta data
such as IP address and port (if the transport protocol(s) are striped off).

The format can be used by logging functions in various nodes, say after
deserialization(SS7 over TDM) decryption(GSM/UMTS/LTE Nodes?) etc.
Tag values and an outline of the format can be found here

LINKTYPE_ANY_PDU or something like that?

Best regards
Anders Broman
