[ Forwarding to wireshark-users ]


Hello,

I'm working for Alcatel-Lucent company in the Alcatel University
department in France.

I would like to study a training based on comparison between TDM SS7
signaling traces analysed by a K12-style interface and SS7 signaling on
IP (SIGTRAN) traces analysed with WireShark analyser.

These ares my questions on the whireshark :

- is there any possibility to know on which ITU, ETSI, 3GPP
recommandations releases have been coded the dissectors to be used for
MAP, CAMEL, ISUP, BSSMAP, RANAP, etc.. Application Parts ?

- The K12 Tektronix analyzer give us the way to build ourself the
protocol stack corresponding to a specific GSM.xx or TS.xx
recommandation release ! Is it possible to add in your project a tool to
manage these protocol stacks, specialy because, for training and
pedagogic objectives, it should be nice to control exactly the output of
a trace decoding ?

Thank you for your help,

Alain.

PS: I know that some of wireshark users would like to have some K12
style traces (rf5 file type) ==> I can proposed some examples on Mobile
Telecom Network (DTAP, BSSMAP, ISUP, CAMEL, MAP) issued fom different
countries.
