[bugzilla-daemon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Comment # 4 on bug 8616 from Jörg Mayer

I have no idea how to do that in a useful way: We only have a single dissector
using that protocol, so creating a language specifically for looks like
overkill to me. I write that assuming that you currently write your code in C
also (or something similar) and not in some description language.

Looking at your web pages I noticed some errors and some text that can be at
least misunderstood:
- The protocol name is "Skinny *Client* Control Protocol" (unless Cisco changed
the name after protocol spec 3.0.4).
- There is a completely different protocol (apart from the fact that it is also
used in the telephony world) that is also named SCCP (and that's why I renamed
the initial dissctor from packet-sccp.c to packet-skinny.c): "Signalling
Connection Control Part" aka ITU Q.713 and is part of SS7. If you do not know
that already reading the documentation will give you a wrong impression.
