Hi List,
I'd like to raise a point mentioned in
https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=7711 for wider
discussion.
Some background: the patch attached to the bugzilla entry adds
auto-detection of some L2TPv3 protocol settings to the l2tp dissector.
These settings are detected on a per (l2tp) session basis, so different
sessions within a capture may have differing settings for these protocol
settings.
The detected settings may be overridden by the user by setting protocol
preferences. When they do so the setting is overidden for _all_
sessions.
It would be good if there were a way for the user to override the
detected settings for just one of these session contexts. Perhaps a
dissector could say "I have found these <X> contexts, and they have
<these> settings associated with them". The GUI would then provide a
way to set the values associated with the contexts.
Any thoughts?
Chris.
