Hi,
I put that preference there as I received a trace where the ssn was outside of the range predefined in the
previous dissector, my reasoning for making it individual ones rather than a range was that I though
the ssn:s used could be "any" rather than a range, I haven't found any documentation giving certain applications
fixed ssn numbers. Is there sutch a document or any convention used?
( GSM-MAP, INAP, CCBS ....)
or is it totally up to the administration?
Perhaps only two ssn number are realy needed for any particular trace?
I suppose all dissectors based on ssn should be made the same in this respect?
Best regards
Anders

Subject: [Ethereal-dev] GSM MAP: register for range of SSNs
I saw today that the GSM MAP dissector now has a preference for up to 5
TCAP SSNs. Rather than do that I think it would be better if it used
the new range preference type.
The attached patch does that and (sorry, I know it makes the patch
harder to read) cleaned up some indenting around the code I was changing
(which results in the actual code being easier to read).
I didn't register the old prefs as obsolete since README.developer
doesn't suggest doing that any more; should it (both my patch and the
README)?
