------- Comment #2 from ronniesahlberg@xxxxxxxxx  2007-07-03 12:45 GMT -------
The isns server is broken.

Wireshark marks the frame as malformed when it encounters attribute tag : 16.
This tag is PORTAL_IP_ADDRESS and is exactly 16 bytes in size.

The broken isns server returns 64 bytes.

You were lucky the initiator was so forgiving that it ignored this invalid
attribute and assumed the tag is 16 bytes without checking the length.
Wireshark was much less forgiving and marked the packet as malformed.


I will add text to the dissect pane that will mark these frames as broken isns
servers.
