Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] [PATCH] add support for tipc dissector at transport level.

From: Jeff Morriss <jeff.morriss.ws@xxxxxxxxx>

IANA is definitely the better way to go, but another option is to make the port number configurable (as a dissector preference, maybe using a "range" preference in case multiple ports are needed), possibly defaulting to 0 (meaning users must configure it to get it to work).

Making the dissector a "new style" one that does heuristics and does not accept packets that don't appear to be its protocol would make this even better.

Ideally this should be done via a bug report so that sample captures of such TIPC-over-UDP traffic could be attached for automatic fuzz testing.

Good question.
I'll bring this up with the TIPC working group.

Hi,

Why not request for a proper portnumber at IANA?

Thanks,
