Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] L2TP AVP decoding correction

Hi,

Current packet-l2tp.c doesn't take the Vendor-Specific Attribute into
consideration. Attribute Type is only meaningful in a given Vendor ID
context. For example, Attribute Type 7 is a "Host Name" AVP in IETF
(i.e. Vendor ID = 0) context , but Attribute Type 7 can be something
totally different in other Vendor-Specific context.

Here's a patch to packet-l2tp.c so that

 1) it decodes all currently-supported Attribute Types only if it's
    under IETF context.

 2) If the attribute is Vendor-Specific, print the Vendor Name (if
    possible) and simply indicate that it's a Vendor-Specific
    attribute (no further decoding for the time being).

Regards,
