Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] IUA decode

From: "Alan Jay Weiner" <a.weiner@xxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Ravi,
I see several things about this packet:

1) it's using Adler-32 checksum instead of CRC32c  (see RFC 3309)

2) the upper-layer protocol (payload protocol identifier) is not specified
(it is 0; for IUA it should be 0x01).  I'm not sure why the rest of the
packet is decoded; it seems to me it should be treated as opaque data and
not decoded.

Assuming that decoding it is correct, then the IUA decodes as a Release
Indication (message class 0x05, message type 0x0a; see RFC 4233 section
3.1.2), and includes an Integer Interface ID as a parameter.  But the IID
parameter length is given as 45 - it should be 8 for an integer-based
Interface ID.  The parameter tag of 0x01 indicates the Integer Interface
Identifier.  Perhaps it should be 0x03 for a text-based Interface
Identifier?  (see RFC 4233 section 3.2; figures 3 and 4)

Hope this helps!

Thanks Anders.


Pls find attached a copy of file containing IUA messages. You will see
v5UA messages as well. v5UA decodes are fine.

Hi,
The latest version is 0.99.8. If you can post the trace file instead we
could take a look at it to try to determine what's
wrong.

Anders
