Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 9158] LLC: Display I/G and C/R bits in subtree/bitwise vie
Comment # 4

from Peter Paluch
Evan, Jeff,
A sample capture of LLC-encapsulated traffic can be found here:

Jeff, I am not sure I understand your suggestion but my natural idea would be
to display both bitmasks in the subtree of DSAP/SSAP value, the SAP and the I/G
or C/R bit, while not adding any new fields to the top-level tree, as that was
exactly what I was trying to achieve with my original patch. My reasoning here
is that mostly, you are interested into the entire DSAP/SSAP value, not in its
individual bits, so the top-level tree under the LLC should just display the
DSAP and SSAP value as it does now with my patch. If you want to see it
dissected into bits including their meaning, you enter the subtrees of
DSAP/SSAP. This is similar to the display of MAC addresses - normally, you're
not interested in seeing the U/L and I/G bits, but should you want to go that
deep, you enter the subtrees of destination/source MAC. Would you find that
more acceptable?
Thank you!
Best regards,
Peter
