Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Link type proposal, IEEE 802.1Qbu Frame Preemption Protocol

[Anton Glukhov <anton.a.glukhov@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I've been working for IEEE802.1Qbu Frame Preemption Protocol and now it's part of TSN set of protocols. I would like to propose the new link type and sent this proposal to tcpdump-workers@lists.tcpdump.org, but unfortunately no response. Here is copy of my email:

Hi everyone!

I'm working for Frame Preemption Protocol(IEEE 802.1Qbu), which is part of Time-Sensitive Networking(TSN) set of standards. The protocol has very interesting extension of standard Ethernet frame and I'd like to propose to add the new link-layer type. Here are the reasons:

- protocol uses non-standard ethernet preamble, user must see the type of frame/fragment

- protocol uses specific CRC sum. It's called mCRC and depends on preamble, which means the type of frame/fragment

I'm the new guy in these mail lists, so could you advice me how to manage this.

Thank you!
