begin rant:
AFAIK bacnet is a pay per standard thing.
I have no professional nor personal interest in buying these standards
for hard cold cash.
Considering the lack of patches offered I also estimate the interest
in fixing these bugs by people with access to the standard to be near
null. :-(
IF the bacnet standards people could donate free of charge standards
to people with interest in fixing these issues or maintaining these
dissectors I am sure that bug-to-resolution speed for these issues
would be greatly accelerated.
I neither got any sort of response from these people not from the ISO
people when i requested standards to be donated.
All my arguments that customers of theirs would have an enhanced
experience by good protocol analyzer support fell into the sand.
I can start looking at the bugs for that protocol (CAN is the keyword,
no promises made) day 1 after a free of charge full specification in
hardback is provided to me free of charge.
Until that day I happily revert all those bugs to those that have the
standards and can actually understand and fix the dissection.
Please feel free to forward to the bacnet guys. It would be really
useful to everyone if they could say upload the standards in pdf
format to the wiki.
end rant
option 2 is to just close the bugs with the explanation : none with
standard available willing to fix bug. bug closed due to impossibility
to fix.
best regards
