Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH] new dissector for ip.access GSM A-bis over IP

From: Michael Tüxen <Michael.Tuexen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Sat, 4 Jul 2009 10:51:31 +0200
Hi Harald,

I get a warning that len might be used uninitialized in dissect_ipa_attr, which is the case if attr_type is neither 0x00 nor 0x01. What is the right
action if the switch statement falls through?
Why do you need the tag variable in that function?

Best regards
Michael

Hi!

I've written the following wireshark dissector for the GSM A-bis over IP protocol as it is used with ip.access nanoBTS products. The code was written
while developing OpenBSC (see http://openbsc.gnumonks.org/).

I'd like to request its inclusion into the wireshark mainline tree. Please
review and let me know if there are any issues.

I'm also in the process of writing a generic GSM 12.21 (A-bis OML) dissector, as well as extending the packet-rsl.c with ip.access nanoBTS vendor extensions. I'm not sure when those will be finished, but I expect to post them within the
next couple of weeks.

Regards,
	Harald
