------- Comment #5 from matt.poduska@xxxxxxxxxxxx  2007-11-06 21:40 GMT -------
The LLRP message parser itself (llrpparse.c and supporting files) is written in
"straight C" - to be agnostic non-standard library calls, buffer management,
etc. The LLRP parser is valuable for more than just a Wireshark application -
wrapping the non-standard functions allows simple porting.

One of the main goals of the LLRP toolkit project (llrp.org) is to provide
tools for an application developer to implement the LLRP protocol. This
Wireshark plugin contains a "C" implementation of the LLRP protocol parser that
could be used by any application (including Wireshark) with minimal porting
effort.

I hope that, by providing the layers of abstraction, this LLRP parser will have
a larger audience than just Wireshark. If this becomes a reality, the
maintenance effort for this dissector could be greatly diminished.
