Yes this does address the issue of Comment 2 and that's already present right?
If you need dictionary.starent.vsa1, you just have 'un-comment' that entry in
dictionary (I'm assuming that such an entry exists as a commented entry) and
comment out the normal entry for dictionary.starent. Then when Wireshark
encounters the vendor ID for Starent i.e. 8164 it will naturally select
dictionary.starent.vsa1 and decoding will be fine. That's what I normally do
anyway. So people can have multiple versions of the Starent dictionary today as
well. 

In conclusion, all I've done here is contributed the official older Starent
dictionary with format 1,1 to FreeRADIUS and Wireshark for everyone to use.
This dictionary is still being used for older Cisco/Starent equipment
worldwide. I don't understand why there's so much confusion about it, but
please tell me if I can do anything to help.
