Hi all,
 
I am requesting a trivial display enhancement for ISIS protocol CSNP PDU (on Ethereal 0.10.0).
 
In displaying ISIS L1/L2 CSNP, I suggest to change the output like this:
        Source-ID:    0001.0001.0008.00
        Start LSP-ID: 0000.0000.0000.00-00
-       End LSP-ID: ffff.ffff.ffff.ff-ff
+       End LSP-ID:   ffff.ffff.ffff.ff-ff
As "Source-ID:" and "Start LSP-ID:" are aligned, I see no reason not to align "End LSP-ID:" with its peers.
 
My test system is Windows XP Home Edition running Ethereal 0.10.0.
 
BTW, I don't know why it reads "InTRA" instead of "Intra" in displaying ISIS PDUs:
- ISO 10589 ISIS InTRA Domain Routeing Information Exchange Protocol
+ ISO 10589 ISIS Intra Domain Routeing Information Exchange Protocol
Did somebody do it intentionally or it's just a typo?
 
FYI, Here is the title of ISIS spec (ISO/IEC 10589):
Information technology �C Telecommunications and information exchange between
systems �C Intermediate System to Intermediate System intra-domain routeing
information exchange protocol for use in conjunction with the protocol for providing
the connectionless-mode network service (ISO 8473)
 
FYI, the following is the total frame output:
Frame 34 (212 bytes on wire, 212 bytes captured)
IEEE 802.3 Ethernet
Logical-Link Control
