I strongly disagree with the patch and will probably revert it. Here's why:
- It removes the possibility to filter on ipv6 protocol elements using
ipv6.something. I will have to use ip.something instead. This is not
acceptable.
- As dscp is not a protocol but a single element inside some protocols, there
is (IMO) no justification for this.
- I understand your wish to save yourself a column, but the problem should be
solved properly: Create the infrastructure to allow a single column to display
different variables - not well thought through: Create a "multi" column and
after that a list of elements in decreasing priority of showing if more than
one element exists.
