Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] H323 Analysis cleanup

Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.

Hello all,

Having a closer look at the new and very useful H323 Call Analysis feature, I have found some bugs and unnecessarily complicated code for managing the registration of the tap listeners. So I decided to rewrite this part of the source code. This part of the code is much smaller now. Unnecessary and wrong calls of register_ethereal_tap() and register_tap_listener_xxx() have been removed or replaced.

I also fixed a bug with RAS Messages.

Please check in.

H323 Call Analysis works currently only with direct calls, support for calls involving a gatekeeper is missing. The mechanism for matching h323 packets to a specific call is currently based on ip addresses and port numbers. At least for h225 packets we should use the call id instead.

BTW the usage of register_ethereal_tap() in the rtp taps needs to be fixed, too.

Regards,
Lars
