Hi all,

I just realized that there is some duplicate code in the SMPP and GSM SMS
dissectors. I'm however not familiar with GSM specs. Are there major
differences between GSM SMS as defined in GSM forum and in 3GPP? If not,
maybe we can split off the common code into a new source file.

Currently the SMPP dissector already parses some interesting IEs in the UDH
if present, and performs the reassembly of short message fragments.
Aditionally the Short Message body can be handed to a subdissector (e.g.,
the WSP dissector).

Small note: the GSM SMS dissector looks up a handle for the "data" protocol,
but it is never used.

Regards,

Olivier
