Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] query regarding gtp_handle funtion anddecoderfunction.

Hi,

Are you trying to add something thats defined in 3GPP TS 29.060 or to do someting for a nonstandard extension to the protocol?

( 0x7F is also allready used (define GTP_EXT_CHRG_ID  0x7F)).

 

The code:

    while (gtpopt[++i].optcode)
     if (gtpopt[i].optcode == ext_hdr_val)
      break;
    offset = offset + (*gtpopt[i].decode)(tvb, offset, pinfo, gtp_tree);

 

Will call the function pointed out by the Extension type (GTP_EXT_XXX) with a tvb containing the GTP message and the offset parameter pointing to the Extension type

(octet 1 in the IE descriptions of TS 29.060)

in the function you'll have to increase offset to pont to the byte you want to "access".

Best regards

Anders

Hi Anders,

Thanks for the reply.

But I'm affraid i did not put the whole thing very clearly.

I should have been more specific.

Actually i need to have in the define statement the following :

#define  GTP_EXT_XXX    0x7f                 /* Satement 1 */

 

and then the  ( extension field , function pointer)  pair :

( GTP_EXT_XXX           My_decode_fun)   /* Statement 2 */       

 

And then

I need to check whether the value of the next byte is 0x30 , in the My_decode_fun(...),

and then call decode_XXX(...) function.           /* Statement 3 */

 

Now in decode_XXX(...) function shall i include the same code that u have specified in your reply or that needs to be modified?

Also after Statement 2 , will the pointer tvb  automatically  incremented by 1 or i have to explicitly increment it?  This i need to know because i need to compare the value 0x30  with the content of the next byte of tvb ( as given in Statement 2 )  

 

 

regards,

Prashanth

Hi,

Are you adding decoding of:

#define GTP_EXT_OMC_ID  0x8F   /* 3G 143 TLV OMC Identity 7.7.42 */

 

If so what you need to do is to add code in

Line 4487

static int
decode_gtp_omc_id(tvbuff_t *tvb, int offset, packet_info *pinfo _U_, proto_tree *tree) {

 

 guint16  length;

 

 length = tvb_get_ntohs(tvb, offset + 1);

 

 proto_tree_add_text(tree, tvb, offset, 3+length, "%s length : %u", val_to_str(GTP_EXT_OMC_ID, gtp_val, "Unknown"), length);

 

 return 3 + length;

 

}

 

To do the actual decoding.

Best regards

Anders

Hi all,

I'm adding a decoder for the gtp protocol. My query is :

1 ) So gtp_handle will do the dissection. It refers to the file packet_gtp.c .

Finds the hex value for example in the following statement :

#define      GTP_EXT_XXX      0x8f

 and then if its value in the header matches 0x8f, refers to the (val, decode_fun)  pair and then calls decode_fun to handle the decoding.

Now my question is : will the pointer tvb ( which is tvb_buff * tvb) be incremented automatically when it enters the function decode_fun ? Or we have to explicitly increment the pointer tvb in the decoder functin to account for the byte containing 0x8f value in the tvb?

 

 

My other questions are :

2) I'm trying to locate the file containing the definition for the function gtp_handle. But I'm not able to find it. Kindly can one please tell me where its definition is?

 

3) Before actually starting the decoding in our decode function what is the code that we have to write and what that is for?

 

regards,

Prashanth
