Summary: Support for IAB MAC address resolution
Product: Wireshark
Version: SVN
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: Low
Component: Wireshark

Currently, wireshark only uses the OUI listings provided by IEEE. IEEE
also provides listings with the IABs in a similar format as the OUI
listings. I would like wireshark to support MAC address resolution based on the
IAB listings in addition to the OUI listings.
For more information on IABs, see
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/faqs.html#q10 .
The list of IABs is available at:
http://standards.ieee.org/regauth/oui/iab.txt
The current OUI list has 11580 entries, the current IAB list has 2351
entries.
I think it would be trivial to add MAC-Address lookup support for the
IAB address range, but the lookup table would grow significantly -
this might lead to worse performance. On the other hand, for best
possible performace MAC address resolution should be turned off
anyway.
