Hi Sal,
you can also use packet-m3ua.c as an example. ethereal will
handle your data as m3ua if you use that payload protocol identifier
of M3UA or the registered port number for M3UA.
The best way to avoid confusion is to use a not registered payload
protocol identifier for your SCTP traffic. It is a 32 bit integer
and only a few values are used yet.
Best regards
Michael

Michael, Erwin, thank you for your help.
Should I use packet_sua.c as an example or is there a better example
(m3ua
etc) available for my scenario?
Also, since the protocol I am trying to write the dissector for is not
a
standard protocol, the payload of SCTP sometimes ends being
interpreted as
m3ua (per the current display on ethereal 9.11). Will this cause any
problems?
Best Regards,
Sal

Subject: Re: [Ethereal-dev] Writing Decoders for Ethereal
Just write your dissector and register for
- a sctp.ppi and/or sctp.port
- a udp.port
After doing this your dissector will be called by the SCTp
and UDP dissector.
Best regards

Hi,
I am interested in writing a decoder for a proprietary protocol.
This
proprietary protocol is carried by SCTP data chunk, and a few
messages
are carried by UDP. I started by reading "README.developer" file in
code directory. Since this would be the first time I would be
writing
a decoder for ethereal, I wanted to know if there is a better
resource
available to get me started quickly. Is there an online tutorial
etc.
What i did was just take a look at other decoders, the general setup
is
the same for all of them. And really not that hard, within a few
hours
you should have a decoder framework in place. For more advanced
tricks
find a decoder that does what you need and look at its source.
The source is the best tutorial there is, one of the good things of
OpenSource.
