Ethereal-dev: Re: [Ethereal-dev] RTP and RTCP automaticaly decode, for a range of ports
Guy,
I've tested the same thing with SnifferPro and they seem to be able to
identify RTP/RTCP frames without access to frames from a signalling
protocol. I tested this by capturing a few RTP frames and opening the
capture with only RTP frames in sniffer pro. It was able to identify the
frames as RTP. So my question is: Does anyone know how they might be able
to do this other than by a brute force method?

"Automatically" in what sense?
I.e., where do you find out the range of ports?
If there's some other protocol that has messages indicating that certain
ports are used for RTP and RTCP - RTSP, for example - and RTP and RTCP
will be running over UDP, for example, then you'd do it the same way the
RTSP dissector does it, i.e. you'd construct a "conversation", given
the IP addresses of the hosts that will be exchanging RTP and RTCP
messages, and the port numbers being used, and specify that the RTP and
RTCP dissectors should be used for that conversation.
