Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Dissecting sua info string

Date: Tue, 10 Apr 2007 17:32:59 +0530
 
Hi Michael,
 
Thanks for the reply.
 
The definition of Info string, as you rightly pointed is character string only.
======================================================
   The optional INFO String parameter can carry any meaningful UTF-8
   [3629] character string along with the message.  Length of the INFO
   String parameter is from 0 to 255 octets.  No procedures are
   presently identified for its use but service providers may use the
   INFO String for debugging purposes.
======================================================
But as per the last line of the statement- "No procedures are  presently identified for its use but service providers may use the
   INFO String for debugging purposes."
 
My requirement is to use INFO string for debugging purpose, for that I want to dissect it further or verify it against a predefined format.
Is it possible? How can I do that?
 
Regards,
Bhavani

Hi Bhavani,

not sure what you want to achieve. The parameter is defined as a character string and is displayed as a string. So you can not analyze more. And it should be pretty readable right now. From an SUA implementation point of view, you can not assume
that the receiver does anything with it.

Best regards
Michael

Hi,

How to dissect the (proprietary) information present in SUA 'info string' part?
Should I create a separate dissector handle for that?

Please provide your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Bhavani.
