At OpenBSC (http://openbsc.gnumonks.org) we have recently started to implement
the GPRS stack and had some issues as we have used a too small length for the
recvfrom call and have truncated the UDP message. It took a while to find as
wireshark didn't report anything as malformed...


Inside the BSSGP message can be a LLC-PDU InformationElement (IE) and this
contains a value_length. Now it is okay for it to be zero. If it is not zero
wireshark should check if the LLC payload is inside the packet or not.
