This is a new dissector for the protocol described in "OFDMA PHY SAP Interface
Specification for 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access Base Stations", Intel,
Revision 2.31, June 15, 2007.

I am currently unable to provide sample capture files, but I will attach a
Python script that generates semi-random WIMAXMACPHY-structured packets that
semantically are gibberish, but can be used for fuzz testing. Specifically, I
have used this script to generate traffic, used Wireshark to capture it, and
then subsequently used the traces for fuzz testing.
The specification describes encapsulation over Ethernet, but the dissector is
currently coded to expect UDP encapsulation. At the time I originally wrote
this, I chose the then unassigned port 1139. According to
http://www.iana.org/assignments/port-numbers, it is now taken.
Any suggestions for choosing a port? Should I make it configurable? If so,
what should the default value be? I could code it to expect Ethernet
encapsulation, but I'm not sure how I can adapt my script to test it.
Finally, I would like to note that this development was commissioned by Mobile
Metrics - http://mobilemetrics.net/.
