Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Patch: Allow CHDLC and PPP_HDLC dissectors to share FCS decode ro

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

From: Jesper Peterson <jesper@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Tue, 26 Aug 2003 17:11:51 +1200

Attached is a patch which extracts the FCS decoding section of the PPP_HDLC dissector to allow the CHDLC dissector to use the same routine. The ppp_options used for preferences has been renamed to fcs_options and exported via packet-ppp.h so CHDLC gets a separate (but identical) FCS preference. This means prefs.h has to be included before packet-ppp.h so a couple of ppp related files (packet-{gtp,null,raw,vj}.c) had their includes slightly re-arranged.

Also attached are a couple of test files for CHDLC and PPP_HDLC with 32-bit FCSs. The TCP CRCs are wrong in the data but the FCSs are correct. Our test gear is strange that way.
