Greetings,

I have updated the dissector for Cisco's Dynamic Trunk Protocol based on its
detailed description in U.S. Patent #6,445,715 available via
patents.google.com. I am attaching a patch against the current SVN and I would
like to kindly ask you for its incorporation into the Wireshark codebase.

The changes to the packet-dtp.c can be summarized in the following points:

1) Corrections to the naming and terminology of DTP, its TLVs, types and values

2) Improvements to the dissection of Trunk Status and Trunk Type TLVs whose
values and meaning have not been properly decoded so far

3) Improvements to the dissection of the Domain TLV (now using
proto_tree_add_item() to display its value; this also allows for filtering
operations)

4) Minor cleanups to the code (mainly renaming the macro names to make them
more consistent)

Thank you!

Best regards,
Peter
