Hi all,

Why don't you just specify the name of the erroneous protocol, and possibly
add protocol specific extra information?

Something like:
 * packet.error.protocol := <erroneous protocol>
 * packet.error.<protocol>.info := <specific error information>
and perhaps make packet.error.info an alias to packet.error.<protocol>.info
for easy referencing?

Most of the errors will result in upper level protocols being "hidden" since
a lower-level error occurred.  For this reason, it doesn't make sense to
specify a list of erroneous protocols for a given packet.

Regards,

Olivier
