Hi Graeme,
As far as I can tell I only put in a hidden field related to the length
indicated in the packet. This is udp.length and
udplite.checksum_coverage, either one or the other is really there,
while to other may be usefull in the background (ie, while filtering
mixed streams).
The same idea is behind the hidden field udp.port. That one I didn't
create and would definitely not want to loose.
So, the question I put forward is to get the deprecated features into
the open so we can discuss them and see if they're really deprecated or
just misused (as may be the case here).
For now leave them in until we get some more opinions in.
Thanx,
Jaap
